• Synopsis

  Frank and his mates celebrate the end of their schooldays together, with a vengeance. Free at last to do what they want, all of life's fabulous temptations beckon. Breaking Up traces Frank's uneasy passage into the world of adults; his humiliation in the workplace; the exhilaration of heading overseas to busk in Germany; the trauma of a troubled relationship with a girl who knows him better than he knows himself.
