Age of Consent

A disillusioned painter, frustrated with his career, travels to his birthplace of Australia to imbue himself in ‘colour, form and sensuality’. In local teenager Cora (Helen Mirren’s first major film appearance) he finds both inspiration and a like-minded, free spirited soul. Each struggles to establish an authentic life amid impeding social noise – all set against the vibrant backdrop of the Great Barrier Reef.
