Locker (film)


Locker is a 2009 Australian short film which follows the emotional journey of a teenager suffering depression and loss.

Synopsis

Faced with the recent loss of his mother, a father who is not coping and has become aggressive towards him, a difficult time at school, and a younger brother who doesn't understand, Tim Kelly has become confused, lonely and withdrawn.
Forced to reconsider the path before him, Tim cleans out his locker and leaves school, and looks set to leave home and maybe take a further tragic step.
Through jumps in time we reveal the series of events that lead to Tim's decision, and how Tim is saved from his destructive path by the unspoken love of his brother and father, and help from another troubled boy who ultimately becomes a friend.
