A honest and empathetic exploration of teenage pregnancy, challenging familial relationships and the tensions of growing up with a mixed ethnic/cultural background against the backdrop of ninties Australia. Equal parts nostalgic, cruel and uplifting.
Moderate: Emotional abuse and Pregnancy
Minor: Abortion, Alcoholism, and Adult/minor relationship
