Growing up, Eve was tormented by the rats that lived in her home and her mother used to read her the story of the Pied Piper. The climax of the film is when Eve sees the child her being sexually abused by the pest control worker. This time around she can protect little Eve and she picks her up and runs out, only to find that the little girl has turned into an old, china doll.

In 1950s Australia, young Celia is growing up with a sense of isolation and mistrust of the world that surrounds her. Her mother and father won't let her play with the kids next door because their parents are communists. Then her pet bunny is taken away because of rabbit overpopulation. And, more traumatizing yet, when her grandmother dies, she's the one to discover the corpse. To cope, she retreats into elaborate fantasies.
