It’s 1964 and radical changes are occurring all over the world, although in Penola Robbie’s world has up to now been fairly static. Rabbiting, backyard science experiments and hooligan scrapes with his friend Billy have occupied Robbie’s life so far. Robbie’s new teacher from the city, the stylish Miss Peach, a sixties sophisticate with stirrup pants, Kool cigarettes and Vespa scooter prove too much for the good people of Penola. Miss Peach has the opposite effect on Robbie, firing his precocious imagination and burgeoning sexuality, until what begins as a schoolboy fantasy has terrible, real consequences.
