Grevillea
One of the teenagers at a youth prison gets a tattoo. In doing so he breaks one of the commandments of his Jewish faith, which in any case seems to offer him no comfort and support anymore. Composed of images in which the essential and seemingly trivial are of equal importance, Jordan Giusti's film, which also draws on his own experiences as a Jewish teenager, describes a feeling of loneliness, the need to belong and the narrow path between conformity and self-determination.
