Dependent

Set in present-day Western Sydney, Dependent centres on Julian, a dedicated carer, who’s grappling with his own physical limitations and emotional strain while caring for his younger brother Luke, who has Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. As Julian faces a testing medical diagnosis, the weight of responsibility begins to overwhelm him. Amidst their daily routines, the brothers’ bond is tested, especially when news of conflict in the Middle East hits close to home.
