Synopsis/Details
A 15-year old boy wearing school uniform walks down a short driveway that leads towards a modest country house. This is SAM, a school-age teen trying to deal with his life’s traumas by suppressing them. On a night like any other, Sam falls asleep and drifts off into a dream of whims and memories. However, he quickly realises that this is no normal dream, he is unable to awake from his fantasies. In this dream, he’s chased down by an armed attacker, and he’s told by his parents' voices that all he must do to escape is to accept the truth. Driven to the edge of despair, unable to wake, a voice from the world of the concious triggers his memories and his memories float back in an overwhelming tide of grief. Upon remembering the death of his parents and finally accepting it for the truth it is, he wakes in floods of tears to his social worker’s open arms.
