- Synopsis:
There had never been a man in Josephine Alibrandi's life. But now, in her senior year in high school, there are three. Josephine's father, who left Sydney when Christina, Josephine's mother, was an unwed pregnant teenager, is back in town and increasingly involved in his daughter's life. John Bartion, polished and rich and bound for law school, is romantically interested in Josephine. And so is Jacob Coote, a working-class boy, easy on the eyes, who moves Josephine in ways she never thought possible. Set against the background of Sydney, Australia, and its vibrant Italian-Australian community, this emotionally charged novel follows a feisty heroine's struggle to balance the pressures of school, family and freinds - while, at the same time, coming understand herself - Actors:

Good Australian Film. - Looking for Alibrandi review by JS
Presented in 4/3 on the DVD, the film focuses on a teen living near Bondi in the eastern suburbs of Sydney and her relationships with family, school friends and an absent father. A window on early 2000’s Sydney teen life, with lots of footage of iconic Sydney locations. If you like Australian cinema, its worth a watch.
