Synopsis
On a town camp in Alice Springs, Australia, a boy searches for a pair of shoes so he can go to school.
His friend tries to help him out by reorganising his aunty's shopping list.
I wanted to show the kids in a positive light, it's an upbeat empowering film, showing the kids as smart and funny.
— Jackie Van Beek
