    • Synopsis
    • Set in the 80’s amongst the sparse landscape of an isolated farming community, four restless adolescent girls band together to escape their troubled lives and patriarchal constraints by reclaiming an abandoned farmhouse as their own. Their growing emotional connection will lead them to a ceremony where they will vow to protect each other and the house at all costs. However when their secret world is threatened by a development corporation, the girls’ relationship will be tested to an extreme.
