Synopsis

Standing on the hot metal roof of the garden shed, twelve-year old Georgie  watches the endless blue sea of a summer sky. The sound of summer settles across the dry back yard. A father mows what is left of the lawn. A baby sister circles around the mower. A mother carefully places clothes over a washing line, “Watch out for daddy” she warns her child. The day ahead will change everything. Georgie will slip between the reality of sexual abuse, and the imaginary underwater world into which she escapes to survive
