When Daniel leaves home at the false accusation from his parents of stealing money, his sister Stacey joins him in the street. Katrina and Tricia play hooky from school to shoplift. Ana Kokkinos’s latest film is an adaptation of the Andrew Bovell’s acclaimed stage play “Who’s Afraid of the Working Class?” Following the interweaving stories of seven adolescent boys and girls wandering through the night streets of Melbourne and their anguished mothers awaiting their return, “Blessed ” is a moving portrayal of teenage angst and the relationship between mothers and their children.
