Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote in The Little Prince, "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." That is the theme of this gentle story about a little girl whose two invisible friends are more real to her than the desolate landscape and desperate hopes of her opal-mining community in Australia.
Kellyanne Williamson (Sapphire Boyce) lives with her brother and her parents in the South Australian opal mining community of Coober Pedy. Her family's views of her two imaginary friends ranges from sympathetic (her mother) to impatience (her brother) and increasing concern (her father), but mostly they play along. But when the friends are lost and Kellyanne is devastated, her father and brother -- and ultimately the whole community -- learn how real imaginary friends can be.
