"On that particular morning, towards the end of the Indian summer of 1969, my father held his party a night early - the night just gone - and the upshot of it was that my parents and I woke at separate times and in distant places to a life that, although I wasn't aware of it then, had already changed much more than I'm certain any of us would have liked."

When teenage Mark awakes to find his father has gone, he becomes aware that his parents' marriage is suddenly in crises. In the process of playing watchful peace-maker in the muted war between them, he leaves behind the innocence of his youth.

With quiet authority and deep understanding, new writer Michael McCoy gives voice to the sensitive but inarticulate inhabitants of suburban Australia.

A masterful depiction of ordinary masculine frailty, 'Burning Sunday' celebrates the courage of vulnerable families.
