ONCE A QUEEN is a feel-good Cinderella story set in the 1980’s in a country town that celebrates the blossoming of its spectacular Jacaranda trees every spring with the crowning of a ‘Jacaranda Queen’. Indigenous teenager Sally Buchanan dreams of being this year’s Queen, only to discover that many, including her father Jack, think she has no place in this all-white tradition. But when the trees are threatened Sally forges an unlikely alliance with Jacaranda Festival President Shirley North and her country music star daughter Lana, to save the purple heart of the town they love.
