SYNOPSIS
After
making a misjudged advance towards her mother's boyfriend,
16-year-old Heidi (Abbie Cornish) flees her home for the small
Australian ski town of Jindabyne. Entranced by the startling
beauty of the wintry landscapes and falling snow, she begins
to create a new life for herself. With little money or practical
experience, she accepts a job at a petrol station and finds
lodging with Irene (Lynette Curran). When she falls for Joe
(Sam Worthington), the son of a wealthy local farmer, her self-destructive
tendencies re-surface, and her fragile new world threatens
to come tumbling down. An erotic, lyrical depiction of a young
girl's sexual awakening, "Somersault" is a breakthrough debut
for both its director and its star.
