Placid Lake (Ben Lee) has always been different. His crayon eating scientific genius of a best friend, Gemma (Rose Byrne), also has a few issues with “blending in.” As an odd fish in a sea of mediocrity, Placid’s brilliant ideas are bound to get him into more trouble than success. When he finds himself flying off the school roof and breaking every bone in his body on graduation night, Placid decides to make a bid for the elusive normal life. To his parents’ horror, he gets a normal job. Soon he’s embracing conformity on the fast track to corporate success and making every effort to get Gemma into bed. Can Placid finally retire his rage in the pursuit of normalcy, or will his plan backfire? Winner - Melbourne Film Festival. Official Selection - Edinburgh Intl Film Festival, Brisbane Intl Film Festival and American Film Institute Film Festival.
Get over it. This was an excellent film. If you saw this as a "sexy" film, you take life way to serious. This film had sexual scenes, but was not about sex. A gun with blood but was not about violence. This is a coming of age movie. You are going to have all that stuff.
