Set in mid 1950s Australia, with the fear of communism in the air, Ann Turner's refreshingly unsentimental debut feature depicts a long hot summer seen through the eyes and over-active imagination of nine-year-old Celia.
Shaken by the death of her beloved Grandmother, Celia finds herself adrift between the cruel games and rituals of childhood and the incomprehensible world of grown-ups. With monstrous creatures stalking her dreams by night, those imagined terrors blur by day with the banal brutality of the adult world and lead to tragic and shocking consequences.

What a Fantastic Folk Horror Psychodrama
Ann Turner's Celia absolutely shook me to my core. This is a dark, haunting experience of a film completely unafraid to get deeply psychological and messy even while in the perspective of a young girl. It's got amazing imagery and such a confident, intelligent, effective storytelling sensibility. And this restoration from Second Run is just stunning. Watch this movie.
