Lou, 23, a queer hairdresser, has been fired and evicted due to her burgeoning alcoholism. Avery, 29, Lou's straight-laced sister, discovers that her husband is cheating on her again. And their shy brother Rio, 20, is totally aimless. Lou's best friend turned casual lover, Sasha, comes to admit serious feelings for Lou. Lou rejects Sasha leading to an argument with Avery, who is sick of people's callous treatment of those they claim to care about. In the midst of the fighting, Rio reveals he has been contacted by the father who abandoned them years prior. The three get drunk and reveal secrets about the abuse they suffered before their father left. Each must decide whether a reunion is in their best interests. When the meeting proves their fears correct, that their father cannot mend the damage he left in his wake, they realise that their best hope is each other.
A romance road movie tracking the breakdown of a relationship across the same terrain but over three different time periods. Jaz and Daniel ride through a journey of new love, disillusion, conflicting priorities, questions of competing morals, and loss.
Amin Palangi’s (Love Marriage in Kabul, Audience Award, SFF 2014) debut narrative feature is a sensual psychological drama in which an Iranian arrives in Australia to reunite with his lover. Arash (Osamah Sami, Ali’s Wedding, SFF 2017) defies his family’s wishes and travels from Iran to Australia. While he is ostensibly in Sydney to study, his main motivation is to be with the love of his life, Nazanin (Faezeh Alavi). Nazanin fails to fetch him at the airport as scheduled but all is forgiven when she whisks him away for a romantic weekend in a cabin in the country. But there are bemusing signs at the cabin that a jetlagged and confused Arash struggles with. The arrival of Nasser (Robert Rabiah), Nazanin’s academic supervisor, further elevates Arash’s paranoia, setting the scene for a showdown. Exploring themes of family duty, belonging and love, TENNESINE is a thoughtful drama with the taut energy of a thriller.
