Gabriel Carrubba writes and directs a compassionate coming-of-age story of a teenager growing up in the outer suburbs of Melbourne.


Seventeen-year-old Leo (Liam Mollica) leads a typical teenage life. Amidst bickering with his Italian family, hanging with friends at school, and making out with his girlfriend Monique (Olivia Fildes), Leo guards a truth buried deep within. As Leo grapples with his inner turmoil, he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to his best friend, Boof (Luke J. Morgan). Everything changes after a high school gathering when rumours about Leo's sexuality begin to circulate, shattering his once stable world. Faced with the fear of rejection from those closest to him, Leo must navigate the uncertain waters of personal acceptance.
