About

Life is beautiful despite the fact that it’s difficult to plan out. When 16-year-old Milla falls in love with screw-up Moses, it’s her parents’ worst nightmare. Yet her first brush with love gives the ailing teenager a new zest for life, and her energy and desire to discover the world around her soon turn the whole family upside down. Conveyed with fresh humor and a light touch, this Australian drama proved a huge hit with audiences at the Venice IFF.
