The Tiniest Thing

Abstract

<p>"The Tiniest Thing" explores climate change denialism and inter-generational inheritance within a fateful weekend for one Brisbane family. Father-of-three Gavin Taylor is a conservative MP hoping to privately sell the family home before the next state election. But when his adult daughter Rebecca appears home unannounced, Gavin's true motives for selling the house are revealed: as a means of distancing himself from his own role in a secret family tragedy. As Nature begins to invade the space, old structures will begin to disintegrate, and what was long buried will come to light… An eco-family drama about the politics of perception, "The Tiniest Thing" asks: Is it possible to change another person's mind? Or do we only ever choose what we want to believe?</p>
