Janey is on vacation with her family at their beach house on the Mahurangi Peninsula in New Zealand. Her parents, Ed and Kate, are on the verge of divorce and sit around drinking whiskey all day, while Janey and Jim are left to their own devices. Cady, a local boaty who is having an affair with Kate, catches Janey's pubescent eye.

Fans of intimate, character-driven dramas will appreciate the nuanced performances and slow-burn pacing of this 2001 film directed by Christine Jeffs. The story's exploration of adolescent sexuality and family tensions creates a palpable sense of unease, heightened by the beautiful New Zealand coastal setting.
