Synopsis
Following the hospitalisation of her mother, 11-year-old bibliophile Mildred is left under the care of her estranged father, a now-washed-up illusionist. Worried by her despondent state, he decides to distract her — and gratify her very active imagination — by taking her camping in the New Zealand forest. There, they can seek out the Canterbury Panther, a mythical beast that may prove essential to healing their family. But it seems other, unexpected forces are determined to get to them first.
