This film, taking place in the suburbs of Melbourne, is about two wild out of control teenage Greek-Australian girls, Alex and her best friend Vicki, who experiment with everything from drugs and sex to violence and just hanging out. Alex is in love with Vicki, her mother has disappeared and she sets fire to things in her spare time. Vicki comes from an abusive home and wants Alex to run away with her. Alex is a bit of a nerd and a teacher's pet, so she takes advantage of this by trying to seduce her English school teacher Kate. Alex watches as Vicki, unable to escape her terrible homelife and an psychological wreck, sets alight to herself and burns to death. Winner of the Best Feature Film award at the 1994 San Francisco Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.
