AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Raised in complete isolation by her mentally ill mother, 16-year-old Claudia has grown up believing that the outside world is evil. Stranded on their remote property after her mother's death, Claudia is shocked when Grace, a spirited local teen, appears in the garden like a mirage. Both dealing with family trauma, the pair find in each other the support, love and intimacy they need, and teach each other the restorative power of human connection. When suspicion builds around the mother's sudden death, police close in and threaten their secret summer love.'

Queer and Australian Features at the 2020 Adelaide Film Festival Stuart Richards , 2021 single work column
— Appears in: Senses of Cinema , January no. 97 2021;

'Held primarily at Palace Nova in the CBD’s Eastend, the Adelaide Film Festival was one of only a few festivals in Australia that were able to hold in-cinema events in 2020. The festival took extra precautions to hold a COVID-safe festival, something Variety dubbed a “pre-pandemic experience.” While there were post-film Q&As, red carpets and parties, there were also social distancing in theatres, hand sanitisers throughout the venues and strictly no dancing.' (Introduction)
