Clip description
Spit (James Fraser) angers Misty (Lee Cormie) by claiming to have a special bond with Fearless (Sullivan Stapleton), who is down on the beach with Teresa (Victoria Hill). Three nuns appear in Misty’s daydream, reassure him that he is the one who will be chosen for adoption, and perform cartwheels.
Curator’s notes
Misty is the December Boy with, as he says, ‘the strongest spiritual antenna’, and this is reflected in light-hearted sequences like this one, in which Misty’s fantasies are given visual representation. Unlike many films worldwide, December Boys paints a positive picture of life at the orphanage, those that look after the boys and religion.
