There had never been a man in Josephine Alibrandi's life. But now, in her senior year in high school there are three. Josephine's father (Anthony LaPaglia), who left when her mother Christina (Greta Scacchi) was an unmarried pregnant teenager, is back in town and increasingly involved in his daughter's bound for law school, is romantically interested in Josephine. And so is Jacob Coote, a working class boy, easy on the eye, who moves Josephine in ways she never thought possible. Set against the background of Sydney, Australia, and its vibrant Italian-Australian community, this emotionally charged film follows a feisty heroine's struggle to balance the pressures of school, family and friends - while, at the same time, coming to understand herself.
