"A deft balance of drama, humour and hormonal adolescent huffs, Rocks is a real treat: full of warmth, honesty and authenticity." Screen International

Rocks, a vibrant fifteen-year-old, enjoys her tight knit group of friends as they dance, do each other’s make-up and revel in the joy of girlhood. When Rocks’ mother leaves her and her little brother with nothing but a vague note, she is supported by the pure friendship she surrounds herself with to survive. Sarah Gavron captures not only the bounds of friendship, but also how it's made up of the small moments that have the power to keep things together.
