Sweet As

[M]

Mature themes, coarse language and sexual references

Frustrated with her mother’s hard-partying lifestyle, 15-year-old Murra seeks temporary refuge with her police officer uncle. Torn between her love for her mother and a burgeoning but unspoken desire for something more in her life, Murra is left adrift with her emotions and an uncertain future. To help guide her, Murra’s uncle signs her up for a week-long excursion in the sparsely populated countryside of Western Australia with other so-called “troubled youth.” Each disparate member of this ragtag foursome grapples with inner demons that threaten to derail a healthy path to adulthood. As part of their therapy, the teens are given cameras as a means to express themselves and Murra forms an immediate affinity with photography. Under the hot sun and embraced by the immense beauty of the Pilbara region, Murra and one of her cohorts slowly begin to open themselves up to new possibilities, including finding love and acceptance within themselves.
