My mom told me when she was a little girl

the world was different.

She said it was greener.

The air was fresher, the sunrise more beautiful.

She said that's why she wanted to take me away,

to find somewhere like that again.

But when the fires came, it changed everything,

and the fires came, the air became thick and heavy.

And all the grain was washed away.

Oh, don't worry about that.

Dai, don't.

Don't do that, darling.

You can't go past this fence.

OK.

We can't let anyone see us, or we'll get into trouble, OK?

Well, why can't we go over the other side?

Because there are wild dogs and wolves

that love eating up little boys for their breakfast, lunch,

and dinner. - No, they're not.

Are too.

No, they're not.

You good to your mother?

You do what she tells you to do?

Ahhh. - Yeah.

Thank you.

Take care, hey.

Yeah.

changes

And there are others.

It's not just about these three.

Apparently, the Navy's on standby down Mallacoota Way.

in

Oh, wow.

Thank you, Dai.

Hey, this fridge door doesn't shut properly, OK, so

just be careful with it, yeah

Dai!

What are you doing, you little weirdo?

Hi, Darling.

OK, so we like the body. Looks like--

Oh, yeah.

That's how you do it.

Yeah.

You get all the excess and then--

and then that.

And then it'll dry hard in the shape.

There's more glue in the fridge if you need it, OK.

Sorry, do you have a phone that I could use.

- Sorry? - Can I please use your phone?

We don't have a public phone

Please, can I just--

here, you can have just--

you can have that.

Just can I please use your phone.

Sorry. Where are we?

What-- what's your address?

34 Pacific Road I think.

Come on, Lucille.

Come on. Come on.

Pick up.

Pick up. Pick up.

Lucille, it's me. It's Marie.

Where are you? - Mom.

Mom, are you OK?

I had a nightmare.

Come here.

What scared the bravest boy in the world then?

It was someone suffocating me.

Did you fight back?

Fight back?

Yeah.

Show them how brave you are.

Show me.

Yeah, it's that.

It's the only way to get rid of nightmares, baby.

You have to stand up to them.

Do you have nightmares?

Sometimes.

Do you stand up to them?

Sometimes.

Maybe go downstairs, make some breakfast.

I'll be down soon. - OK.

OK.

Mom!

What?

Did power go out again?

I don't know.

Move.

I'm sure Lucille will bring really good stuff with her.

We had good food at home.

If Lucille doesn't come, what are we gonna eat?

She'll come, Dai.

She was late when she picked us up last time.

She'll come.

Hey!

Hello.

My name's Jason.

I was here the other night with my wife and son.

Yeah, no, I remember.

You guys were having car troubles.

Well, would you believe it.

She's broken down again.

I'm sorry to hear.

Cars just never do what they're supposed to, hey.

Would you mind giving me a ride?

Oh, I'm actually going the other way, and I'm running late.

Otherwise I would.

I didn't say where I needed to go.

Can I use your phone?

Sir, I'm sorry, but I really have to run.

My family's missing.

All I know is that my wife called a number on your phone,

and then she vanished.

I just-- just wanna see who she called.

Maybe she doesn't want that.

I don't want to get involved. - I'm sorry.

You can't help that now.

Dai, honey, where are you?

Mom.

Hmm?

Why isn't it cold?

Hmm?

What do you mean?

Well, if it's snowing, shouldn't it be cold?

It's ash.

It's-- it's not snow.

Why would there be ash in the sky.

Well, the winds, they-- they pick it up from the fires

and bring it over this way.

Well, they must be close.

No, no, they're miles away.

You don't have to worry about that.

Besides, I've got more important things to worry about.

Like what?

Like this friend of mine, it's his birthday soon.

Actually, I think might know him.

He's a little man, but he's almost as tall as me now.

And he likes drawing.

He insists on petting every dog that he meets.

He loves waking his mom up really early.

Don't do that, Dai.

Where are you going?

Going to see if I can catch a rabbit.

Get a little bit more for us to eat.

You're going to the supermarket?

No, Dai.

There isn't a supermarket, OK, at least

not one that we can walk to.

Can I come with you?

What did I say that the rule was?

- Don't go past the fence. - Exactly.

What if I'm with you?

No, Dai, OK.

You have to stay in here.

It's safer.

I can just go when you're gone.

What was that Dai, if I find out

that you've been going past the fence,

I'm going to start locking you in your room.

You wouldn't.

Yes, I would because if I don't then the police

will catch you and we'll have even more problems, all right.

Go back inside, Dai.

Who was on the phone?

How do you think it makes me feel?

Just gonna leave me alone?

I'd kill myself if I lost you, Maria.

Is that what you want? You want me to kill myself?

What if it is?

I don't think being around here is safe for him.

Maybe I'll take him to live somewhere else.

How you like that?

You all right?

That was a lot, wasn't it?

Your mother, we love her, but she can be so dramatic,

can't she?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, she didn't tell you where she was taking you, did she?

Yeah, you I'd never hurt anyone, especially not you two.

Your mother, she's just--

she's very sick, and she needs help.

And she doesn't tell the truth.

You know that, right?

Yeah?

You're a smart kid.

You see it?

All right.

I love you.

Bye bye.

Shit.

Mom, I'm hungry.

Yeah.

All right, let's have something to eat then.

But we've nothing to eat.

Oh, that's not true, is it?

I'll make us some beans.

Well, I'm bored.

There's nothing to do.

And I don't want to eat beans and stew.

I hate it here.

Dai, just stop please, OK.

I'm trying my best.

Why are we even here?

- I'm trying to protect you. - You're not protecting me.

You just wanted to get back at dad.

You know that's not true.

Don't--

What do you want?

You want something special, I'll get it for you.

Anything?

Yes, anything.

Something good.

Fine.

I'll get you something good.

What do you want?

Hello, Hannah.

What do you want?

Can you open this door?

You've aged badly.

Marie is missing.

You already know.

I don't know where she is.

She has my son.

Marie has a son?

Dai.

He's about to turn 12.

I just need to know they're OK.

If they want to be left alone, I'll leave them alone.

Just want them to know I love them

and I'm here for them if they need.

Fuck off. Jason.

If you come back, I'm calling the police.

I gotta get out of here tonight.

Look out the window, Dai.

OK, but I need you to get the key to the door from your dad.

So can you please do that for me?

Just don't wake him up.

The country has seen in a century have ravaged houses,

and families have been reporting from the front line.

State of emergency has been declared

with police and military helping to fight

the panic around the country.

We go now to Hamish Ferguson, who's

been reporting on the front lines.

Hamish, what are you seeing?

That's right.

Chris.

The wind does appear to be keeping the blazes high.

But that could change at any moment, too.

And if that happens--

Go to bed, Dai.

I'm getting water.

Why is it taking so long to evacuate these communities.

There are hardy people.

They've been through these fires before, and they've come out OK.

We haven't seen anything like it before,

and experts are saying this could be the new normal.

You OK?

Where is he?

On the couch.

Run.

Wait!

No, stop that!

Are you OK?

Drive! Drive!

Drive! Drive!

Drive! Drive!

Are you OK, Dai?

Is it good?

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Where'd you get it?

It's a secret.

So you can go to the supermarket?

No, Dai. We can't, OK.

It was a one time thing.

Why?

Because I said so, Dai.

The victim identified as Hannah Connor suffered

a severe beating after a home invasion

this week in an outer Sydney suburb.

According to police, the attack scene

is random although there is--

Hello.

Oh, hello.

Am I speaking with Jason Trieste?

Yes, it is.

Who's speaking?

This is Robbie Kearns.

I'm calling from Glenmore Road Public School.

I'm one of Dai's teachers.

We haven't seen him in the last week.

I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of this.

Oh, I thought Maria emailed you.

No, we're up in Queensland for work,

so Dai won't be coming in anymore.

Oh, OK.

I haven't received anything.

That's OK.

Thanks for calling.

I was just like I had to get out of there, you know.

Temperatures.

These conditions create a perfect storm.

Here we go.

The usual fear-mongering from the scientific community.

Australia always has bushfires.

This is nothing new.

Sorry to disturb you.

I'm just looking for my mother.

She's got dementia, and she's wandered off.

Her name's Lucille.

Do you know her?

No. Sorry.

Do you know anyone named Lucille?

That's the old one.

Good luck finding your mother.

I love them at this age.

They're so cute.

You really never saw her?

Yeah.

Well, have a great day.

Hey! - I don't know.

No.

No, I don't know how you do it to yourself.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, it smells like shit.

Tastes like shit.

Shit, my dad smokes.

I reckon I'm a lot like my dad.

I mean, he smokes.

Does he?

Yeah.

Like a pack a day.

What are you doing?

Wait Keep me up.

Keep me up, guys.

That's nice.

Hey!

Hey, where you going?

Yip, yip!

Here, piggy, piggy, piggy.

There you are.

He's going down there.

Oh, he's trying to steal our billy.

Damn, dude, that was a good spot.

Dai, honey.

Dai, where are you?

Dai!

What have you-- what have you done?

What is wrong with you!

Get in the bathroom now.

Dai, the rule about the fence, it's to protect us.

OK.

I wanted to see the supermarket.

There is no supermarket, Dai.

I stole the pizzas from the neighbors.

I shouldn't have, and I'm not going to do it again.

But the neighbors cannot see us.

Do you understand?

Because if they do, then they'll call the police,

and they'll report us.

And then your father will find us.

And he'll take you away from me, OK.

And I'm terrified that I'll never get to see you again

if that happens, Dai. Do you understand?

Dai, honey, can you come out here a sec?

Happy birthday, honey.

I don't want a cake.

Come on, darling.

Come on, blow out your candles.

You can wish for anything you want.

I don't want to make a wish.

Dai, what do you want more than anything in the world?

I want to go home.

OK, you want to go back to living with your father,

fine, wish for that then.

Why do you want to go home?

You didn't get angry at me as much,

and we were a whole family.

OK, then wish for that.

Go on.

Wish for it.

Sorry.

We're not gonna stay here forever.

Mom.

Yeah, little man.

I promise I won't go past the fence again.

Good night, darling.

I love you.

You OK?

Whatever you hear, just stay in here, OK.

What is it?

Is it dad?

Just stay in here, Dai.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Something in the house.

Hey.

It was an accident, Dai I thought it was your dad.

Piss off.

You know, you can't protect yourself with a garden hose.

Whoa. OK.

Seems to work well.

Thank you.

Hey, Will.

What?

We got a 000 call about gunshots in the Osgood area.

The caller couldn't give an address.

Didn't have one.

He was apparently hard to understand.

- Now? - Yeah.

Probably nothing. Hunters maybe.

Well, no, we can't ignore it.

Who was the caller.

Harold in the caravan park.

Yeah.

Right, well, he is hard to understand.

All right, we'll be back.

Yeah.

Please get ready to evacuate.

OK.

Thank you.

You called in about a gunshot.

Who's yelling?

Will and Francis are here.

So you heard it as well?

Oh, there was a loud crack an hour ago.

Yeah.

Over in the forest over there.

Probably just hunters.

So who's living over there?

Nobody lives there.

Evacuated?

Abandoned.

Mom!

Mom.

Nothing.

No, nothing.

Mom.

Please, Dai.

Mom.

Mom.

Please, Dai.

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

Listen to me.

Need you take this.

I need you to stay--

look at me.

Stay quiet.

Don't move.

OK. Go.

Go, go, go.

Hey, Francis.

Hmm.

Look.

Local kids breaking in?

Yeah.

Why don't they take out the garbage?

We know there's someone here.

It's the police.

This is your final warning.

Sorry. Sorry, officer.

Sorry, I was asleep.

It's 3:00 AM.

Sorry, is this something that I can help you with?

Yeah, we had a report of a gunshot.

Have you heard anything?

No.

No, we're surrounded by the forest,

so we don't really hear much.

Have you had any drugs or alcohol this evening?

No.

No, never.

Never in my life.

You know, the fires are closing in.

Yeah.

Yeah, they're-- they're all I can smell anymore.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

So this is your house?

No, it's my aunt Lucille's.

We-- we moved in just before everything started up.

Who's we?

My husband and I.

Yeah, do you reckon we might be able to see some ID, miss?

Yeah, sure.

Absolutely.

Well--

Can you give me a second. Sorry.

No, no. It's OK.

Here we are.

Thank you.

Yeah, you know this has expired, miss.

I know sorry.

I need to get another one.

So no proof of residence obviously.

No, sorry.

But you can contact my aunt Lucille Lafitte.

Right, it's just, you know, we start forcefully

evacuating this whole area this morning.

We'll be gone in the early morning.

We'll make sure.

OK thank you, Mrs. Trieste.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Look, I don't like you being here alone without a car.

OK, this is serious business.

So you need to keep your radio on.

OK. - OK.

- Sound good. - Yes, sir.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Have a good night. Thank you.

Did you see her eye?

What about it?

It was-- it was bruised.

Oh, yes.

I think drugs No?

No.

I think she was hit.

The husband.

Well, look, I really don't think there's

much we can do about it.

Yeah?

There is.

Like, I want to go and talk to the homeowner to check.

I'm going to stick to my instructions, yeah.

My first priority is evacuating those people most in danger

from the fires unless responding to a life or death situation.

What?

OK.

No, that's OK.

I just think that we should split up then.

Sure.

You think you're smart earlier, sending me

to the middle of nowhere.

Tell me where they really are, I won't leave you here to burn.

Hello.

Is anyone home?

My name's Francis.

I'm a police officer.

We're not evacuating.

Yeah-- sir.

That's not why I'm here.

Is there a Lucille that lives here, Lucille Lafitte?

Yeah, she's me wife.

What do you want with her?

Sir, can I come in?

Now's not really a good time actually.

I know I should have called ahead.

I just really believe that-- - Know that's right.

You should have called ahead.

OK, however, I believe someone is in danger,

and we can still help her.

OK.

We just need to act quickly.

Help her, eh.

Look, maybe you should come back when my wife's in.

She'll be back later today. All right.

No, sir. We don't have enough time.

OK.

Look.

What time will she be back?

Later.

Later?

I just spoke to Lucille's husband,

and he said to come back later when she's in today.

We have to follow protocol here, or we might get hurt.

Will, please just come over here and try to talk to him.

What are we gonna do?

Packing your things, OK.

We're getting out of here.

Mrs. Lafitte?

Hello!

Oh, fucking hell.

Mrs. Lafitte.

Hey.

Francis, come in.

This is Will.

Yeah, hey, I'm gonna need to get through.

Miss, I can't let you through here.

There's only one house down this road, and it's abandoned.

No, it's not abandoned.

I was there this morning.

Look, Miss, you can't come through here.

But you can go around the pass.

It'll take an extra 15 minutes, but you better be quick.

This place is going to be a furnace in an hour.

Stop.

Stop, stop, stop, Stop.

Maria!

Dai, it's dad.

Maria!

Dai.

You're not hiding, are you?

Come on, talk to me.

Be rational.

I'm sorry.

Just want to make sure you two are OK.

Come on, mate.

Know I'd never hurt you or your mother.

Look, maybe I wasn't always what you two needed or wanted.

But what's she telling you about me?

Did you ever see me hurt your mother?

All I ever wanted was for us to be a family,

and it's still what I want.

Come on, mate.

Is life so bad at home with me?

Since I've grown up, what's expected of men's changed.

You know, supposed to be tough, protective.

It's hard to make sense anymore of what

I'm supposed to be when what I've always thought

I was supposed to be--

No, I'm not going to lose you.

Suddenly gone.

What I'm trying to say is you and your mother

deserve all the love in the world, mate.

Men aren't so good at loving or nurturing I don't think.

We show our love by being tough, protective, and sometimes

looks like we're the bad guy.

But if-- if you saw how far I'd come to find you, mate--

I would do anything for you.

I'd go anywhere, become anything for you, for both of you.

I can show you that I'm changing already.

Dai, cover your eyes.

Don't move!

Officer, you startled me.

Can I help you with anything?

Who are you talking to?

I was just talking to myself.

Put your hands up.

What for?

Put your hands up.

OK.

Up.

OK, here's what we're going to do.

You're going to walk towards the door.

Through this door?

Yes, that door.

OK.

Then put both hands on the blue car.

Stay out of this!

Stay there!

Hey!

Damn it.

Maria!

Dai!

Where are we going, mum?

We have to come inside!

This is the police!

We have the forest surrounded!

I'm always going to be here for you, Dai.

OK.

We simply break free one last time,

and then we'll never have to run again.

OK.

Maria!

Maria, I was wrong.

Look, we don't need to go home.

We can go anywhere you want.

Sydney, Melbourne.

I don't care.

France, for fuck's sake.

Just wanna be a family again.

I'll forgive you you can forgive me.

Please don't make me.

Not gonna hurt you.

Run!

Run!

Run!

put that gun down.

Put it down now!

No!

Bitch.

I don't just remember the smoke.

I remember something my mother told me

about a plant that grew only in the Australian bush, a plant

that releases seeds only when it's burnt in a bushfire,

about how bright, colorful shoots can

be seen growing out of the charred trees left behind.

I imagine if we went back, we'd see

a whole forest has grown back, brighter

and more colorful than before.

Say you're not afraid

Jump to the edge of it

Say you're not so vain

Tell me now is why

Will live for 50 years longer

I hope now it's my time

Take it all down

The wallpaper and all the women inside of it

Now I'm so tired

Of all this importance of self-inventing

I want to go down

To the grave

Tell me it's not too late

I spent too many years

In the cave

The shadows were quite convincing
