Directed by Academy Award® nominee Scott Hicks (Shine), The Boys are Back highlights the raw beauty of South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula. Just 60 minutes from the South Australian capital of Adelaide, this region combines fine wine and food with rolling hills, quaint towns and a stunning coast. Encompassing the McLaren Vale wine region, the Fleurieu Peninsula is known as South Australia’s adventure playground, where you can snorkel with Leafy Seadragons, take a surfing safari, watch Little Penguins migrate to shore or experience a bird’s eye view of the extensive coast in a vintage Tiger Moth.
Inspired by a true story, The Boys Are Back is a deeply moving, wryly confessional tale of fatherhood that intimately evokes both the fragility and wonders of family life. It follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter (Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Clive Owen) who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: "just say yes". Raising two boys – a curious six year-old (Nicholas McAnulty) and a rebel teen (George Mackay) from a previous marriage – in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless…and on the constant verge of disaster.
