Plot

During a road trip through rural Australia, a young girl gradually uncovers a startling truth: her mother is looting houses that have been abandoned due to a rapidly approaching bushfire.

Inspired by true events, Kindling follows a group of young men who return to their hometown to turn their friend Sid's final summer into a celebration of life and friendship. Facing mortality, Sid wants to create a legacy and be remembered forever. With his obsession for astronomy and the atmosphere, he comes up with a plan to bring everyone together and make this summer unforgettable. He gives each boy a category - love, home, friends, family and location - and asks them to find an item that connects them all with the word they've been given. That week they'll build a fire to burn the items they collect, a ritual that Sid believes will make him last forever.
