Set in the coastal town of the same name, Newcastle is a coming-of-age tale of elusive dreams and the eternal wave. Combining surfing beaches with the raw energy, music and rebellion of teen culture, it tells the story of 17-year old Jesse who lives in the shadow of his older brother Victor. Jesse is determined to win the Junior Surf Pro final and to succeed where Victor failed. Winning would mean a one-way ticket out of Newcastle and a career beyond his pre-destined future – working on the coal barges.

As a diversion before the finals, Jesse and his mates plan a weekend away with some local girls. Much to his dismay, Fergus, his geeky, twin brother gets to tag along. But when Victor and his gang arrive at the isolated beach an unofficial contest ensues.

This momentous weekend leads them to discover themselves and what’s really important.



To be in the running to win a double in-season pass to the film, simply email your name and mailing address to movieshow@sbs.com.au, with ‘Newcastle’ in the subject line. Passes are valid at participating cinemas from November 6  for the entire screening season. Check newspapers for session details.
