The Heartbreak Kid
Christina (Claudia Karvan) is a schoolteacher from an affluent Greek-Australian family who is happily married to a lawyer and pleased with her life's path. She starts teaching at a working-class school in the inner city, where the children challenge her ideas. Christina begins to fall in love with Nick, a 17-year-old aspiring soccer player, after being involved in a campaign by a group of non-anglo kids to join a soccer club at a school where the racist PE instructor only promotes Australian Rules Football (Alex Dimitriades). Christina is forced to confront herself, her family, and the culture she lives in as a result of the affair. Beautifully done by a youthful ensemble and insightfully scripted, the film successfully blends humour with a refreshing assessment of contemporary ethnic relationships in Australia.
