The Heartbreak Kid
When Christina (Claudia Karvan) was young, she lived in a wealthy Greek-Australian family. She was engaged to a lawyer, and she was happy with the way her life had been going so far. She starts teaching at a working-class school in an inner city. The students question her ideas. Nick, a 17-year-old soccer player, is Christina's first love. She joins a campaign by a group of non-white students to start a soccer club in a school where the PE teacher only likes Australian Rules Football (Alex Dimitriades). Christina is forced to think about herself, her family, and the culture she lives in after the relationship. In this movie, a group of young actors and a well-written script make it possible to mix comedy with a new look at ethnic relationships in Australia.
