The Longest Weekend
Feature Film: 2022
Press
Tensions simmer as three disconnected siblings find themselves living once again under the same roof – Lou has been evicted, Avery found her husband cheating and Rio... Rio never left home. Long kept secrets resurface when the father who abandoned them returns to their lives. As they draw closer they must decide together whether they want to bury the past.
Filmed in Sydney’s Inner West, The Longest Weekend is a raw and tender queer-positive debut about the healing power of speaking the unspoken and finding a way to move beyond your circumstances.
