LOGLINE
A young girl's journey from denial to acceptance.
PITCH
A young girl called Lily blocks out the death of her father. Her distraught
mother tries to show her, but nothing gets through: the police at the
door, the mother's fairy tale analogy or even the funeral don't help her
accept the truth. But as Lilly thinks about cause and effect, the power
of the moon on the tides and the seas, and the way the Newton's cradle
works, she decides she has no choice but to go and save her father from
the pond where he drowned. She goes there at night, goes into the water
and fantasises/finds him underwater - freeing him forever. At her fathers
gravestone Lily makes her peace - the final part of acceptance. She leaves,
arms around her mother's legs. Behind her, a swimming arm band on the
grave.
