Review: Fred Schepisi's script is based on autobiographical experiences in a catholic seminary in the fifties. The film focuses on the conflicts of its young protagonist Tom Allen (Simon Burke) and follows a delicate and intensely truthful path through the minefields of puberty and the perception of boyhood. The films emotional oppositional elements involve discipline and impulse, constraint and freedom and innocence and experience. Schepisi also depicts a sympathetic view on the life of the priests. - www.screensound.gov.au
