Once I Was (2004)

Jess was in her teens when she fell pregnant and had her daughter, Erika. Now in her early twenties, she's living on an isolated rural property with her daughter and her partner, Nils. Frustrated with the boring country lifestyle she's been living, Jess makes a stab at feeling sixteen again. She just wants to go back to the excitement, the selfishness, the carelessness of youth. A country singer and her son, Luke, come to town. Luke isn't your typical country boy - he's not even a country musician. His mother has dragged him along with her on her annual pub tour to get him away from his druggie mates. Luke is just what Jess has been waiting for - a grungy, young traveler who doesn't care about anyone or anything. At first Luke's way of life seems like the solution to Jess, but their association is going to have strong ramifications for everyone involved.
