Dur. 1.3

It’s Friday night and five friends gather at a house in rural Australia. Their parents are out of town and it’s time to celebrate the end of another school week. No big deal; just a few drinks, a few laughs.

As the night grows later, the teens reach a state of alcohol-induced openness. As the night progresses, hey reveal secrets, crushes and an unintentionally cruel streak.

A tribute to an awkward phase that we’ve all made it through and have powerful memories of, About An Age is a nostalgic coming-of-age film set in one location. With charm and authenticity, it examines themes of responsibility, first love and the passing of time via one single evening shared by a group of playful mates.
