Heidi is a sixteen-year-old Australian
girl whose reckless sexuality gets her into trouble
at home. Caught in a compromising situation by her
mother, she takes to the road. In the snowy ski
town of Lake Jindabyne, she meets Joe, a handsome
farm owner's son to whom she is instantly attracted.
For one thing, he is not an easy conquest; reserved
and withholding, he flirts but keeps his distance.
As their tenuous relationship deepens, it grows
more conflicted, exposing their mutual insecurities
and leading to near-disaster for both. Heidi often
manipulative and scarily impulsive has the makings
of a good person, but her character is put to the
test.
