| Summary |
Filmmaker, Lee Whitmore's true story of growing up during one of the most talked about events in Australian history - the Petrov Affair. It's the summer of 1954 and seven year old Lee and her friends are drifting through the holidays, exploring their quiet suburban neighbourhood where nothing ever seems to happen... until one day mysterious strangers move in with the old lady next door. No one explains the odd comings and goings, the big black cars, the men in suits and hats, the overheard snippets of conversation. But that doesn't stop the children from using their imaginations. Lee makes sense of what she can, aided by half understood scraps of radio news and blurry photographs on the front pages of the newspaper. Only many years later did she learn that the strangers were Russian defectors in hiding from the KGB and in fear of their lives. (Commissioned by SBS, in English) (Animated Drama) G CC WS |
