A further reflection of the resurgence in Australian film-making in the 70s and 80s. Starring and The year is 1953; the place, a repressive Catholic school for boys in Victoria, Australia. Tom is just 13, experiencing the problems of puberty, and increasingly doubtful about the religious 'vocation' forced upon him.
