The Year My Voice Broke
It was incredible. It was the year that changed everything. Forever.
Directed by John Duigan
Produced by Kennedy Miller Productions
A tender, melancholic coming-of-age story about the pain of unrequited first love and the loss of innocence in rural 1960s Australia.
Set in 1962, a young prepubescent boy in rural Australia watches painfully as his best friend and first love blossoms into womanhood and falls for a thuggish rugby player, changing the lives of everyone involved.
