An intelligent, downbeat coming-of-age film set in Australia in 1962.
The 15-year-old protagonist Danny (Noah Taylor) suffers heartbreak when the girl he loves – the beautiful and free-spirited Freya (Loene Carmen) – becomes pregnant by older boy Trevor (Ben Mendelsohn) and then leaves town.
The young actors in the lovesick triangle – Taylor, Carmen, and Mendelsohn – bring their characters to life with subtle authority.
The much-acclaimed Flirting(1989), with Nicole Kidman, was a sequel of sorts, in which Danny, played again by Noah Taylor, goes to boarding school.
