Australia, 1965: Shy Danny Embling (Noah Taylor – The Year My Voice Broke) discovers love with another outsider, Ugandan Thandiwe Adjewa (Thandie Newton – ER), who attends a nearby girls' school. Danny and Thandiwe's relationship opens new worlds to both of them and helps them cope with the petty cruelty of their schoolmates, including icy, beautiful, sexually repressed Nicola Radcliffe (Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman – Birth, The Hours), in this charming, insightful coming-of-age story.
