The Cardinal Rules
Every day, 8pm to 9:10pm Wednesday 24 September to Saturday 27 September Saturday 27 September from 3:30pm to 4:10pm
Engulfed by nostalgia, a woman stands at the funeral of a primary school friend that she hasn’t seen in years. As she remembers her 90’s childhood in a close-knit suburban Catholic community, she questions how their lives diverged. When two Aunties from the ancestral plane rupture her sheltered reality, she is forced to re-evaluate her understanding of everything she thought she knew.
An unlikely coming of (middle) age story about facing the uncomfortable realities of the past and living in the present.
