The Story

It’s 1999. Netta (Sarah Nicolazzo) is drowning. A sick child, a business bankrupting her before it has even begun, and a landlord pounding at the door. When Julian’s (Max Nappo) father cancels their long-promised weekend together, everything begins to unravel. Determined not to let her son down, she clings to the one thing she can still control – getting Julian to his final year footy presentation. But as her life unravels, so does her grip, and her promises. Rough-edged and unfiltered, Westgate is a portrait of a woman who refuses to be softened, a child who sees too much, and a city that has never made space for them.
