Movie description:
Wee Jimmy is the story of a young Scottish boy growing up in Australian suburbia, whose feeling of resentment and alienation spill over into hostility and violence as he strives for a sense of belonging, and ultimately discovers the acceptance he craves – within himself.
Despite being born an Australian, Wee Jimmy has been brought up within the insular confines of an extended Scottish immigrant family. For Jimmy, who has never left Australia, Scotland is home. At school, Jimmy has seen himself as separate from the other kids. At a family gathering to watch the Edinburgh Tattoo, he finally discovers the shocking truth – that his own father was not a Scot. Jimmy is faced with the realisation that he is as excluded from his family’s cultural world as his Hungarian stepfather.
