Based on actual events, Dandelion in the Pavement is a haunting portrait of the isolation of a five-year-old girl, Reagan, who is the lone survivor of a car crash that displaces her in a ravine for ten days. At times poetic and heartbreakingly real, this film becomes an exploration of the resiliency and innocence of a child as the barrier between reality and fantasy dissolves. Reagan spends her days exploring the forest, and playing in a make-believe world where her mother is still alive. As time passes, Reagan's fantasies grow shorter, and harder to hold on to. The girl grows increasingly scared, hungry, and weak. In the end, two park rangers stumble upon the girl sleeping next to her mother, and gently lead her away from the scene.
