Somersault

Heidi is a sixteen-year-old Australian girl whose reckless sexuality gets her into trouble at home. Caught in a compromising situation by her mother, she takes to the road. In the snowy ski town of Lake Jindabyne, she meets Joe, a handsome farm owner’s son to whom she is instantly attracted. For one thing, he is not an easy conquest; reserved and withholding, he flirts but keeps his distance. As their tenuous relationship deepens, it grows more conflicted, exposing their mutual insecurities and leading to near-disaster for both. Heidi–often manipulative and scarily impulsive–has the makings of a good person, but her character is put to the test.
