Eschewing a family vacation in Geneva in favor of a sunny summer in suburban Brisbane, a high school senior intending to hunker down with his studies becomes hopelessly distracted by the beautiful best friend of his free-spirited aunt in writer/director Daniel Lapaine's adaptation of Nick Earls' best-selling novel 48 Shades of Brown. Sixteen year-old Daniel Bancroft (Richard Wilson) was all about the books when he moved in with his twenty-two year-old aunt Jacq (Robin McLeavy), but upon meeting her pretty housemate Naomi (Emma Lung) any chance for academic advancement is thrown instantly out the window. As Daniel does his best to balance his schoolwork with the strenuous weight of first love, his best friend Chris (Nick Donaldon) displays just how much effect raging hormones can have on an adolescent who lacks the discipline to stay focused on his studies. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

An 18-year-old orphan teetering on the verge of womanhood attempts to unlock the secrets of her shrouded family past by setting out into the Australian countryside with little more than her mother's diary and a mysterious older lover to guide her in an intimate drama directed by Craig Monahan and starring Hugo Weaving and Emma Lung. Orphaned as a young child by a horrific car accident and locked into a forbidden love affair with the one-time trade unionist who now works as a factory manager at the peach-canning factory where she currently works, Steph (Lung) is a typical teenage girl who longs for a better life. With an unknown future on the horizon and a painful past slowly shrinking away in her rearview mirror, Steph attempts to find out everything she ever wanted to know about the family she once lost while never losing hope that she will one day find success on her own terms. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
