Head On

In the poignant and unflinching drama "Head On," 19-year-old Ari navigates the complexities of his dissolute life as a second-generation Greek-Australian in Melbourne. As he struggles to find his place between conservative tradition and modern Australia, Ari's desires for self-expression and connection are constantly at odds with the expectations of his community. With stark realism and uncompromising subject matter, this 1998 Australian film tells a powerful story of identity, family, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
