Featuring an outstanding cast that includes Eliza Scanlen, Toby Wallace, Essie Davis and Ben Mendelsohn, Babyteeth is the stunning debut feature from director Shannon Murphy. When seriously ill teenager Milla (Scanlan) falls in love with free-spirit Moses (Wallace), it s her parents, Henry (Mendelsohn) and Anna's (Davis), worst nightmare. But as Milla's first brush with love brings her a new lust for life, things get messy and traditional morals go out the window. Milla shows everyone in her orbit - her parents, Moses, a sensitive music teacher, a budding child violinist, and a disarmingly honest pregnant neighbour - how to live like you have nothing to lose. What might have been a disaster for the family instead leads to letting go and finding grace in the glorious chaos of life. (Picturehouse Entertainment)
