Small Flowers

Set against the searing stillness of rural Australia, Small Flowers follows a boy trying to revel in a day of solitude—only to be interrupted by another boy who won't go away. The two circle each other, both equally expectant as to what comes next. They are unapologetically curious and frank. They don’t not-like each other... but they are certainly not sure. An unwilling companionship as they have simply bumped into each others solo existence, and are existing adjacently for the time being. Influenced by poetic cinema and the raw beauty of rural Australia, Small Flowers embraces a restrained, atmospheric style. The undulating expanse of yellowed paddocks and dirt roads allows a patient environment for the two boys to interact, heightened by extended, intimate shots following a real-time journey. A whimsical, piercingly quiet portrayal of youth, solitude, and connection.
