Summary *Coarse Language, Sex Scenes, Drug Use, Nudity*Puberty Blues traces the lives of two adolescent females who have spent the first part of their lives in a group by themselves, while desperately trying to break into the 'in' group who dominate the Greenhill beach.Once they are accepted into the group, they realise that the group's laid-back, ultra-cool facade is just that: a glossy cover-up. The main protagonist, Debbie and her life-long companion Sue fall into all of the group's vices, including drug-use and casual sex. At first, they willingly present themselves to the males of the group as virtual slaves, ready to serve their pre-chosen lover's every need.Soon, though, the girls grow tired of occupying the victim role, and they work to regain respect and equality.Directed by Bruce Beresford, Puberty Blues stars Nell Schofield and Jad Capelja
