Generations collide as Peaches explores the tangled love lives of workers at a small town cannery. Newcomer Emma Lung plays Steph ? orphaned after her parents were killed in a car accident. She?s been brought up by her mother?s best friend, Jude, Jacqueline MacKenzie, once in love with Alan ? the former union rep and now cannery boss, played by Hugo Weaving. On her 18th birthday, Steph is given her late mother?s diary, and the mysteries of her past and those her around her start to unravel. This coming of age drama rakes over very familiar territory. Emma Lung holds her own alongside Weaving and MacKenzie to display great passion and sensitivity, but the film is marred by Sue Smith?s wordy and confusing script. Peaches lacks the cinematography and character development of similar films, such as Somersault. But it does provide an entertaining journey, exploring the economic and emotional changes that are inevitable in life.
