Storyline:
Thomas is turning 16. His dad's in the army and they've just moved to a town in New South Wales; his mom is pregnant; his older brother, Charlie, who's autistic, has his own adolescent sexual issues. Thomas finds Charlie an embarrassment in public, so when Thomas is attracted to Jackie, a girl in his swim class, Charlie presents any number of obstacles when she drops by their house, when the three of them go for a walk, and during a family birthday dinner. Can Thomas find a way to enter the world of teen romance and still be his brother's keeper, or is Charlie's disability going to prove more than Thomas can handle?

Wow, this is a no holds barred in your face reality check of what it is REALLY like to live with a child in a man's body. The film depicts this sad situation in such a endearing way that you feel sorry for those who find themselves dealt this reality and are impressed by them as well. All the while you are exceedingly thankful this is not your life but you leave with a new respect for those who "look after their own".
The story surrounds the one brother and his coming of age. He is forced to deal with his handicapped brother while juggling his attempt at his first love with a very mature classmate. She is endearing and everyone devotes themselves so fully in their part that the movie is haunting long after the credits roll. A real, REAL gem that is not afraid to show it like it is.

Based on the description many people will skip this movie. PLEASE DON'T MISS THIS ONE. The story is engaging, complex and at times uncomfortable, but the acting is outstanding. It is a great "coming of age" film, but also about the emotional roller coaster of a deeply caring family and the relationship of two brothers (one of which is "challenged"). It is moving in so many ways...
