Somersault

A visually haunting film, set at the foot of the Australian ski fields, SOMERSAULT is the story of a young girl's sensory journey, through which she learns the true meaning of love, family and friendship. Living with her young single mother, sixteen-year-old Heidi (Abbie Cornish), starved of true affection, looks to short-lived sexual encounters for the physical and emotional contact she craves. A confrontation with her mother is the catalyst for Heidi leaving home and fleeing to the snow resort town of Lake Jindabyne. 2004 Film Finance Corporation Australia Limited New South Wales Film And Television Office The Premium Movie Partnership And Red Carpet Productions Pty Ltd
