When seriously ill teenager Milla falls madly in love with small-time drug dealer Moses, it’s her traditional parents’ worst nightmare. But Milla’s first brush with love brings her a new lust for life, and she begins to show everyone in her orbit how to live like you have nothing to lose.

First love is already messy—and in Shannon Murphy’s sensational feature debut, it crashes into other angst-inducing obstacles too. Featuring some of Australia’s finest working actors, this electric drama resists easy mawkishness, and finds unique ways to salvage poignant beauty from pain.
