An emotional 90s queer family saga about secrets, memory, and coming of age.
A sweeping 90s family saga about love, identity, memory and the places that shape us.
Melbourne, 1979. Terry is a young idealist on the brink of a promising legal career when a sudden disappearance changes the course of his life. His younger sister Rose steps in to help him, making a choice that will shape both their futures.
Seventeen years later, eighteen-year-old Lucas is preparing to leave Melbourne for a long-planned trip to Europe with his childhood best friend, Daniel. There’s just one problem: they aren't speaking.
Lucas has always struggled to understand what he wants from the people around him. Daniel, meanwhile, is wrestling with feelings he can't quite reconcile. As their final school year unfolds, their friendship becomes increasingly complicated, while the secrets and loyalties of the previous generation begin to surface again.
From late-70s Melbourne to Sydney and a European winter in the 1990s, Replace the Sky follows two generations of a family as they discover that growing up doesn't necessarily end when you leave home.
A tender, emotionally rich story about family, friendship, sexuality, memory and the search for somewhere, and someone, you can belong.
