Storm Boy

Shawn Seet directs this adaptation of the Australian novel by Colin Thiele. When a young boy (Finn Little) rescues three orphaned pelican chicks from the beach, he nurses them back to health with the help of his friend Fingerbone Bill (Trevor Jamieson) and names them Mr Proud, Mr Ponder and Mr Percival. When the pelicans are grown and strong enough to fly, the boy's father (Jai Courtney) insists he lets them go to live their lives in the wild.

When Mr Percival decides to return however, the boy must face up to some difficult decisions as he tries to avoid school and responsibilities in favour of spending time with his beloved Mr Percival.
