Summary
Sometimes to fit in you have to stand out. HEY HEY IT'S ESTHER BLUEBURGER is a hilarious coming of age comedy that explores what it́ђةs really like to be an outsider in your own world.. Esther is not like other girls; she befriends a duck, talks to God through the toilet and break-dances at her bat-mitzvah. Her school is a daily torment of mind-numbing conformity and bell-ringing rituals. Home is a pressure cooker driven by her mother Gracéђةs (Essie Davis, The Babadook, Game of Thones) demand for perfection.. But life changes when Esther meets uber hip Sunni, (Keisha Castle- Hughes, Whalerider, Game of Thrones) and her off beat single mother Mary (Toni Collette, Little Miss Sunshine, United States of Tara) and slips out of her oppressive all-girls private school and into a public one under the guise of a foreign exchange student. She learns that it́ђةs ok to be different and that being true to yourself is more important than fitting inches. Official Selection at the Berlin International Film Festival. Winner of the Young Actor's Award (Danielle Catanzariti) and nominated for Best Original Screenplay from the Australian Film Institute. "This charming, highly-accomplished first feature will gladden the hearts of parents everywhere looking for a film to watch with their pre-teens...funny and honest. The dialogue and situations are also often just downright hilarious and occasionally outrageous." - Screen Daily. "It's highly entertaining with a great soundtrack making it the perfect recipe for a hit with every teenage girl. 'Mean Girls' with heart." - Aint it Cool News
