Somersault (2004)


This is the story about Heidi (Abbie Cornish), an emotionally fragile teenager who runs away from home after copping off with her mum's boyfriend. Stuck in a dead-end Aussie town, she gets attention through sex and strikes up a rickety relationship with troubled farm hand Joe (Sam Worthington). Both compelling and worrying, the film is haunted by the unshakeable sense that something terrible is about to happen.

SOMERSAULT is yet another winner from Australia. It is a simple and realistic story of a teenage girl running away from home then learning hard lessons. Great direction and acting that deserve the highest acclaim in the film business.
