Teenage love story with some depth
This Australian film is a truly touching film regarding love and human passions. Thandiwe is a lovely Ugandan student in an all-girl's boarding school in 1965, and she has to deal with both the blatant racism she's confronted with and the political turmoil in her country. Danny is an Australian at the all-boy's school across the lake whom she develops an interest in, and then a relationship.This film is about a lot more than clumsy sex among teenagers; it's about loss, honor, repression, and desires. It is indeed a very moving tale. And it features an early performance by Nicole Kidman in which she does a far better job than her later work.
