New Zealand, June 22, 1954: Here, on the other side of the world, people's lives are proceeding in an orderly fashion. Pauline and Juliet, two pretty girls, are also enjoying the happy days of their youth. But the girls increasingly dream themselves into a fantasy world - a mystical kingdom - and soon lose contact with the outside world. When their parents try to intervene and bring them back to reality, disaster strikes. One day, the two girls smash the skull of a defenseless woman with a brick. The bestiality of it: the woman is Pauline's mother. Already a classic - the poetic thriller based on a true story, from the director of "The Lord of the Rings" with stunning visual effects and Kate Winslet in one of her first roles! A masterpiece.
