  • ""Celia is a fiercely independent and imaginative 9-year old who lives uncomfortably with her buttoned-down family in suburban Melbourne in the 1950s. Her church-going parents are troubled by sexual frustrations and irrational fears about the rise of communism, causing Celia to find refuge with her grandmother. But when she dies, Celia's world falls apart until a friendship blossoms with her new neighbour, Alice."--Container."

  • "Feature film from Australia. Drama. Nine-year-old Celia's world is shattered by the loss of her beloved grand-mother, and of her pet rabbit. New neighbour Alice offers friendship, but her Communist leanings cause trouble."
  • "This is an original interweaving of the personal and the political through parallel stories involving different but related historical moments - the Victorian rabbit plague in 1957 and the post 1956 crisis for communists. The narrative is presented from a child's viewpoint within the sensibility of a WASP family, their relationship with 'Communist' neighbours and the response of individual members to everyday rebellion. The key relationships here are between Celia and her 'exiled' feminist grandmother and between Celia and her father. The child's eye view limits the political analysis but enriches the sense of the rituals of childhood and ambiguities in the relationship between childhood imagination and reality which coalesces in the surprise ending."@en
  • "Nine-year old Celia's closest friends are her granny and her pet rabbit. One day Granny dies and during the night, hideous monsters start climbing in Celia's window. Celia's world begins to collapse; then her rabbit is taken away while she's at school. Celia, consumed with bewilderment and rage, seeks a violent revenge."
