How does nature mirror our emotions? Prime Video‘s “The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart” utilizes Australia’s well-known landscape to illustrate one person’s fascinating journey. Its story follows a young girl, Alice, struck by a tragic event — her adult life marred by equally dramatic circumstances. Directed by Glendyn Ivin (“Penguin Bloom,” “Safe Harbour“) and from the producers of “Big Little Lies,” “Nine Perfect Strangers,” and “Anatomy Of A Scandal,” the project features renowned actress Sigourney Weaver in the role of June Hart, a grandmother reluctantly tasked with becoming the central figure in Alice’s story. Alycia Debnam-Carey portrays the series’ central figure, Alice; “Fear the Walking Dead” fans will instantly recognize the actress from her long run on the series. Asher Keddie, Leah Purcell, Frankie Adams, Alexander England, Charlie Vickers, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Sebastián Zurita, Alyla Browne, and Xavier Samuel also star in the project.
The series’ official synopsis:
Based on Holly Ringland’s best-selling debut novel, the seven-part series tells the emotionally compelling story of Alice Hart. When Alice, aged 9, tragically loses her parents in a mysterious fire, she is taken to live with her grandmother June at Thornfield flower farm, where she learns that there are secrets within secrets about her and her family’s past. Set against Australia’s breathtaking natural landscape, and with native wildflowers and plants providing a way to express the inexpressible, this enthralling family drama spans decades.
