THE DEB

It’s a film cut from the same glorious, feel-good cloth as Muriel’s Wedding, The Sapphires and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert; a joyous, unapologetically Australian crowd-pleaser that kicks gloom to the curb and leaves you grinning from ear to ear.

High school outcast Taylah Simpkins is certain that the upcoming Debutante Ball ‘the Deb,’ is her one chance to redefine herself and become the popular girl once and for all. When her cynical cousin from the city, Maeve is sent to Taylah’s small farm town as punishment, she thinks the ball is a farce and immediately tries to disrupt the status quo. In their search for the spotlight, Taylah and Maeve dig deep to find self-acceptance – and a date to the Deb.
