The troubled girls are played by Emma Lung (The Jammed) and Emily Browning (Ned Kelly) whose adventures include taking refuge in a car with no wheels, shoplifting, romance, busking and a drug overdose. Robert Morgan plays their father, tentatively pulling himself out his reclusive state of grief and into the world of dating.

Sexy Thing 15*

Dir: Denie Pentecost | Australia | 2006 | 14 mins

This day in the life of 12-year old Georgie is one she will never forget. Starting off as she plays and dances with her best friend Lisa, Georgie dives in and out of her imaginary underwater world to protect her from the realities of her changing body, sexual awakening, and a dramatic parental sacrifice. A fusion of Heavenly Creatures and Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet in miniature.
