84 Mins | AustraliaComing out isn’t always easy, even in a big city like Melbourne. Writer/director Gabriel Carrubba’s semi-autobiographical debut feature explores the challenges at play in a working-class suburb on the outer edges of the train line. Nowhere Boys alums Liam Mollica plays 17-year-old Greek-Italian highschooler Leo, crushing on his best mate Boof (an equally impressive Luke J. Morgan) but unable to tell him how he really feels in this delicate coming-of-ager that doesn’t shy away from the harsher realities still too often at play. Look out for show-stopping Of an Age star Elias Anton playing the bad guy as Boof’s abusive older brother and impressive newcomer Daniel Halmarick as Tom, a space cadet of the cutest kind whose kind eyes are trained on the stars, possibly offering the chance of brighter days ahead. One for the Heartstopper fans.
