Acclaimed Director Gillian Armstrong introduced us to three working class Adelaide women when they were 14 years old in 1976, and returned to follow them as they grow older in this series of documentaries. They openly discuss their lives and views on a range of issues such as abortion, sex, boys, family and work life these are their stories. In the five films (Smokes and Lollies / 14s Good, 18s Better / Bingo, Bridesmaids and Braces / Not 14 Again / Love Lust and Lies), we see these women marry, divorce, have families of their own and face new challenges capturing the highs and lows of lifes journey. Josie, Diana and Kerry, now 47, developed their relationship with Gillian Armstrong over the series to reveal an honest, open frank and very Australian series. The collection of five documentaries follows the womens lives, as they continue to openly discuss their secrets, truths and feelings about growing up and getting old in the Australian suburbs. A compelling, humanistic docudrama series and a must see Australian collection of films.
