Custard tells the story of a young Aboriginal woman who visits her grandmother after the death of the grandfather. She is looking for answers to her many questions. Although a sad film, it is not without humour when the granddaughter reads out a modified death certificate where the old man died of an overdose of custard. Custard is based on a true story.
