Tan Lines (2006)

This is the story of Midget Hollows (Jack Baxter) - teenager, surfer, partier, pervert... he and his friends live the quintessential surf grommet existence and now the holidays are here, there's nothing left to do but go surfing, harass the townsfolk and consume as much weed and booze as they can find. But beneath the surface of this idealistic lifestyle, Midget starts to feel the claustrophobia of small town life; not to mention the constrictions of sleeping in the same bed as his mother, Betty. When Cass Masters (Daniel O'Leary) arrives back in town, the older brother of Midget's best friend Dan (Jed Clarke), after four years travelling in Europe, Midget is instantly attracted to his confidence, his openness about his homosexuality and his graceful surfing ability. Midget and Cass embark on a passionate affair, but in a place where everyone knows everyone else's business, it isn't long before the relationship feels the strains of secrecy. Midget finds that his sexuality and the culture he inhabits might not be compatible... he tries to take his cues from Cass' confidence, but when some of Cass' secrets start to come out... why did he run away four years ago?...Midget starts to wonder if Cass' confidence isn't disguising a desperation to be accepted.
