The Irtleys are an impoverished famiIy that are uprooted from their isolated rural existence by the intrusion of a highway through their property. They receive a large sum of money for the road but hide it under their mattress for safe keeping whilst continuing their pastoral existence. The children, Naomi and Bruvver, are dazzled by their newfound experiences of the outside worId and persuade their parents to take them to a nearby country carnivaI. The family become separated in the confusion of the bright Iights and excitement of the carnivaI and the children become prey to hustIers. Naomi is enthralIed by a daredeviI motorcycle rider who initiates her into womanhood in a degrading circus act in front of a paying audience. Bruvver becomes involved with a flashy stripper who looks forward to spending the hidden money. Sixteen is a simple parable-Iike film; the stripper, the daredeviI motorcycIe rider and a seIf-proclaimed Parson who feels 'calIed' to share in the lrteIy's rewards must take advantage of the meek in order to survive. |
