20 years ago the world went quiet. Father is suspended between the living world and the lost, he saw the end and he can’t let it go.
Finn was a child when it collapsed. He’s the young green vines growing up through the ribcage of a lost civilisation.
It’s 2053, Father and Finn live alone in a remote valley in Tasmania. Everything is about to change.
A story of survival, of being lost and finding ourselves again, and the love between a father and son.
Post-climate apocalypse in #HuonValley & #Hobart. Mostly believable (ex-PM was a caricature, and questionable lack of planning for expedition) with survivors being both humane & loving, but also merciless when called for. Unnerving to see local area in this light.
