Two Australian coming-of-age films directed by John Duigan. Set in the 1960s, these deeply personal stories follow Danny, a socially awkward teenager, as he navigates the complexities of growing up, love, and self-discovery.
Set in 1962, a young prepubescent boy in rural Australia watches painfully as his best friend and first love blossoms into womanhood and falls for a thuggish rugby player, changing the lives of everyone involved.
Two freethinking teenagers - a boy and a girl - confront with authoritarian teachers in their boarding schools. The other students treat this differently.
