Soft Fruit

Patsy's greatest wish is for peace... but of course peace isn't part of this family's gene pool. Three bossy sisters and their brother come to steel-town Port Kembla, from America, Sydney and jail. It's the first time in eight years they've been under the same roof and they've come to nurse their beloved mother Patsy through her last weeks. Their father Vic, would rather have Patsy's illness to himself than face the fruit of his loins who've returned in all his appalling likeness. In particular he can't stomach the sight of his son Bo, and banishes him to live in the shed. As tension mounts between Bo and his father, Bo becomes Patsy's guide on surreal day trips, enthusiastically sharing her morphine euphoria. Winner of two coveted AFI awards and numerous international film festival accolades  Soft Fruit is heart felt and surprising from the first minute.
