  • 2014-03-10T04:00:00Z15m

Flea is an inner city kid. Hers is a tough world, a rough world, a kick-in-the-guts and a spit-in-your-food world. She's small, but she's got heart and she's got smarts. She loves her mum Mighty and her sister Little Sis, but her mum's new boyfriend has come and shaken up their world with violence and fear. Flea does odd jobs to earn the money to buy drugs from the older and cooler estate kids thinking the pills will make her invincible against the beatings she endures from her step-dad. When that doesn't work, Flea buys more drugs. But Flea also has a very clever and surprising plan up her sleeve that no one sees coming. Flea is a stunningly uplifting and surprising 21st Century tale of overcoming all the odds.

In just a few hours school will be out, forever... Corridors and classrooms lie abandoned. The playground has an apocalyptic air. Pupils loiter as spectators, because among the ruins of a once passable educational institution, a duel is taking place. Two teachers, now combatants, mortal foes, see out the end of an era with a game of tag.
Buffed up PE teacher Lee has a cohort of teenagers to help him outwit nerdy science teacher Sarah. She has nobody to help her until weedy schoolkid Deks steps in and concocts a plan to help her outflank Lee.
In this action-comedy short the most mundane of playground games becomes a gigantic battle of wills, a modern-day spaghetti western, and an elegiac closing ceremony for a school lost to recession.
