A Film by Ana Kokkinos
Unspoken passion abounds in Only the Brave, an edgy, sensuous, story about
two Australian teenage girls. Alex and Vicki are wild girls who immerse themselves
in drugs, vandalism and fights. Alex wants to be a writer - she has talent,
and is encouraged by Kate, her English teacher. Vicki's dream is to escape her
joyless home and become a singer. When Kate makes an unsuccessful pass at Alex,
Vicki becomes violently jealous. As the girls' affection for each other grows,
events spiral out of control. Brace yourself for the stunning conclusion!
