Plot
An excellent sequel to the Australian coming-of-age film "The Year My Voice Broke". Danny is now an outsider at boarding school where he falls for an African girl from the near-by girl's school. They manage to sustain a relationship with hilarious and charming consequences, capturing the goose-bumps, grunts, giggles and gorgeous rapture of teenage love. Taylor is a jowly delight, while 16-year-old newcomer Newton throws savage glances and sensuous smiles with the assured air of a seasoned professional. Electrifying and heartbreaking; cherish it.
