Film, TV and stage icon Nadine Garner (ABC’s Savage River) and Max McKenna (Muriel’s Wedding the Musical) star in this multi-award-winning family drama. When 18-year-old Anna stumbles upon stories she wrote as a child she discovers a thrilling but unfamiliar imagination bursting from the pages. Now she's determined to discover who she is without the label that has defined most of her life, but her pursuit pits her against her seemingly well-meaning mother, boyfriend and the therapist she no longer sees as an ally. With heart and humour Kendall Feaver's tender portrait echoes conversations happening at dinner tables across the country, while tapping into the universal tension between a mother's care and a child's independence. A complex and multi-faceted gem, its brilliance will take on a different shine from wherever you sit in the conversation.
