Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: "just says yes." Raising two boys - a curious six year-old and a rebel teen from a previous marriage -- in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with a lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless… and on the constant verge of disaster. The three multi-generational boys of the Warr household, father and sons alike, must each find their own way, however tenuous, to grow up.
‘Scott Hicks’s return to the big-screen, and Australia, courtesy of the film’s South Australian setting, is a wonderfully moving meditation on life, death and familial bonds that triumphs in its understated approach.’ -Rod Yates, Empire Magazine
