Dandelion

Alice lives alone in the middle of a field of wind turbines, the constant thump thump her only companion. She is haunted by the memories of the day her daughter Grace and her partner, Jamie died, a tragedy that she can’t seem to recover from. One morning she realizes that she never will and decides to end her life. As she dies, she is resurrected by a strange symbol on her arm and is confronted by her dead lover who gives her a second chance at life, but guilt ridden by the part she played in her family's death, will she take it?

Directed by Gillian Simpson, Dandelion leans on a strong ensemble — Susan Jayne-Robinson, Daniel Hippolyte, Myiah Rose Richmond — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
