This week, a specifically Australian take on magical realism.
This story weaves a mystery involving a baby. A potentially poisonous mushroom. And the disappearance of a friend, Chia.
Through rich symbolism and tension, this episode explores truth, lies, friendship, and vulnerability.
Shhh…Listen. Banksia’s tell two truths, one lie. The game starts now.
