| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Based on the classic Michael Noonan novel, "December
Boys" is the story of four orphan teenagers growing up
behind the closed doors of a Catholic convent in outback Australia
during the 1960s. As the boys watch younger kids get adopted
by loving families, they begin to realize that as they get
older, their turn may never come. When the convent sends the
boys to visit the seaside one summer, they finally have something
to look forward to.
While at the seaside, the boys meet a young couple unable
to have children, who would make the perfect parents. The
eldest of the boys, Maps (Daniel Radcliffe), finds himself
drawn to Lucy (Teresa Palmer), a beautiful girl from down
the coast. Competing to be the most adoptable, the rest of
the boys, Sparks (Christian Byers), Misty (Lee Cormie) and
Spit (James Fraser), severely test their friendships as long
gestating feelings of rejection explode to the surface.
The bonds of friendship eventually overcome the rivalries,
sealing forever the strong ties that bind the December boys
as they learn the real meaning behind friendship, family and
love.
