Two brothers in Budgewoi recount a strange encounter with a man on Christmas Day.

Based on a real incident involving his nephews Blye and Eden, who also star in the film, the new short by David Robinson-Smith (Mud Crab, MIFF 2022; We Used to Own Houses, MIFF 2023) is an eerie, unsettling, at times darkly funny look at a young person’s response to danger, the unreliability of memory and the slipperiness of storytelling.
