The New Boy (2022)

From Dirty Films and Scarlett Pictures comes writer/director Warwick Thornton’s deeply personal film, The New Boy.

In 1940’s Australia, in the middle of World War II, a nine-year-old aboriginal Australian orphan boy arrives in the dead of night at a remote monastery run by a renegade nun.

As her foundations are rocked, will the secret she has harboured for a year be discovered, imperiling the orphanage? Or will everything be brought in line, made good and safe and orderly, even at the cost of New Boy’s unique Indigenous spiritual power?
