Floodhouse

After an absence of years, Mara (15) moves into her hippy Dad’s shotgun shack in remote river country. Marooned in Harry’ eccentric world, Mara broods on her haughty artist mother who lives at the top of the valley. When Mara falls for Herringbone John, a tramp waiting for death to come along and knock him on the head, the encounter is a trip through the ecstasy and agony of romantic love. What Mara finds on the other side set her free. —FIPA
