Spoilers ahead
In an isolated town in the heart of the Australian Outback, Tom finds himself wandering the quiet streets, often during the night when sleep eludes him, although the film opens with a bright sunny day. At home, his mother, Catherine, expresses her concern over his late-night strolls, urging him to stay indoors. Moments later, Burtie arrives at the door, ready to tackle some painting projects. Matthew, Tom’s father, greets him, but the scene soon shifts as Lily, Tom’s spirited 15-year-old sister, appears dressed scantily, dismissing their mother’s requests to change. She argues against attending school in the sweltering heat of over 40 degrees.
