This film is based on In My Father's Den, Maurice Gee's third novel published in 1972. When his father dies, Paul (Matthew Macfayden), a world-weary war journalist, returns to his Central Otago hometown. He strikes up an unlikely friendship with a teenage girl (Emily Barclay). Their relationship is frowned upon and when she disappears, the community holds him responsible. The events that follow force Paul to confront a tragic incident he fled as a youth, and face dark secrets.

Join us to launch Outside the Square's inaugural writing series. There will be a reading of Sofya's Garden, Renee Liang (Glucina)'s play for children featuring live music, Renee's trademark humour and puppets (if you're lucky). This will be followed by A Botanical Sublime where writers Paula Morris, Nina Seja, Ann Poulsen, and Renee Liang will read excerpts from their work and discuss the way Henderson's people, places, and botanical past influenced their writing process.
