December Boys

Here's a film that's really banking on the inherent drama of being an adolescent orphan. Four lads from a Catholic orphanage in the Australian outback are sent on a seaside vacation where they vie for adoption by the same couple. It's a coming-of-age tale that's not afraid to ask the question: what if being an orphan wasn't that fun?
