In the film, two Noongar men – Frank and Vinnie – travel across the country and seek revenge for the repeated beheading of the statue of their ancestor warrior Yagan. To keep up he is stealing art on the side. The 1997 beheading inspired Aboriginal writer Archie Weller to write a short story which Sally Riley turned into Confessions of a Headhunter. Roger (Aksel Hennie) is a man who seems to have it all: he is Norways most successful headhunter, married to the beautiful gallery-owner Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund), owns a magnificent villa - but living larger than he should. It was repaired, but later beheaded again. In 1997, his head was repatriated to Australia soon after, a vandal used an angle grinder to behead the statue. In Perth, there is a bronze statue of the Noongar resistance fighter Yagan, whose head was sent to England after he was killed by white settlers, in 1833.
