Twelve-year-old Blaze witnesses a rape in broad daylight. The heavily traumatized girl withdraws into her imagination, where she is protected from all harm by a glittering, sparkling dragon, among other things. At the same time, Blaze is the only one who could identify the perpetrator in court. The feature debut of multi-award-winning Australian painter Del Kathryn Barton is an extraordinary coming-of-age story toggling between harsh realism and magical fantasy—packing an extraordinary punch not least because of the talented young lead, Julia Savage.
