Movie Info

In New South Wales, Jared surfs with his mates and has a first girl. He hosts a beach party for his older pal, Ricko, and witnesses four of his mates rape a 15 year old. He does nothing, and the next day, she's found murdered. At school, the boys and the girls react: the girls with anger at the perpetrators, the boys with jeering at the dead girl's morality. The students' parents have their own responses. Jared retreats into angry silence, disgusted that he did nothing to help the dead girl.

good story and above par acting make this a good film

Very Aussie, depressing rape drama, tearjerking and sickening but wholly worth it for a young Heath Ledger.One also feels angered and sickened at the dodgy plotline that virtually everyone in the small town seems to think the murdered gang rape victim had it coming.yuk.
