This Australian coming-of-age comedy/drama features Brenda Blethyn as Jeannie, a semi-monstrous mom who gave up a promising career as a British comic to move Down Under and marry a one-hit wonder country singer. One of her two sons is mentally handicapped (Richard Wilson); the other is a sensitive kid named Tim (Kham Chittenden), whose sexual maturity has been waylaid by his clingy mom's fear of being abandoned again (her husband--understandably--left her). He's got to look after his brother and drive Mom to her local club gigs as she attempts a comeback.
