Mental
Directed by P.J. Hogan | Awaiting release
When his wife (Rebecca Gibney) is committed to a mental instituation following a nervous breakdown, a philandering politician
(Anthony LaPaglia) hires a free spirited hitchhiker Shaz (Toni Collette) to take care of his five misfit daughters. The
wild, charismatic Shaz transforms the girls from town jokes into forces to be reckoned with, particularly making a mark
on sixteen year old Coral who has never encountered anyone as fearless, cool or reckless before. But Shaz has a secret,
and when Coral discovers the real reason Shaz has come to town she must make a decision. Betray her hero, the person who's
changed her life, or follow her and become just as crazy.
