An imaginative and somewhat disturbed young girl fantasizes about evil creatures and other oddities to mask her insecurities while growing up in rural Australia.

Taking deadly aim at sentimental depictions of childhood, this distinctive debut from underrated Australian auteur Ann Turner explores the shadowy corners of a child’s world. Linking 1950s anticommunism and a plague of rabbits, Celia finds youthful rebellion in dark fantasy and eerie ritual.
