Storyline

Edit

A light-fingered teen living in industrial suburbia struggles in the shadow of his Mother's desperate need for an organ donor. When he skips school to take a job at a second hand car yard he soon uncovers a front for a local crime syndicate. Convinced he can buy his Mother a second chance at life, he schemes to pinch a large drug haul, but soon discovers life sinking from naive penny pinching to the abyss of major crime. —Jeffory Asselin

This is little Aussie gem is totally underrated!

I happened to come across this film, partly due to Covid boredom, and I have to say it is a great Aussie film. A film about loss, family, friends and redemption. The villains are thoroughly dislikeable. And the dark, but honest subtexts woven through the film are true to the plight of many working class Australians and their families. There's a beauty to the brutality of this film, which at 81 minutes, what do you have to lose?
