Maya Newell's documentary follows the lives of four Australian children – Gus, Ebony, Graham and Matt – whose parents all happen to be gay. Having grown up with same-sex parents, Newell brings her insight and empathy to bear on one of the most debated contemporary issues today, giving a rare and intimate look at same-sex parenting through the eyes of these engaging youngsters. Gus is obsessed with professional wrestling, Ebony wants to become a pop star, Graham is struggling with his reading and Matt is questioning religion. Each displays remarkable maturity, eloquence and humour as they cope with their own challenges of growing up, further complicated by the pressures of societal stereotypes and prejudice.
