Riz lives in Western Sydney with a group of his working-class mates. He is secretly dating the middle-class Kylie and keeping her in the dark about his home life. It all comes to a head on Riz's 18th birthday, when his deception threatens to tear Riz's relationships apart. Riz has a cast of newcomers and its crew was made up of Western suburbs youth who developed their skills on the film. Written and directed by S. Shakthidharan and Guido Gonzalez, it was inspired by the life of Gonzalez, who came to Australia from Chile as a child refugee. It is an examination of class in Sydney, a character study of a young man trying to belong to two worlds and a multicultural Australia not often seen on our screens.

An elderly woman alone in her crumbling house and ensconced in the difficult circumstances of her life, is nevertheless stoic. She is about to have her world upended when a young fugitive enters her property, seeking a place of solace. Strange and silent though the young man is, a tentative friendship is formed. They have both been rocked by seismic events, she by the military testing that has irreparably damaged her house, and he by the wars he has escaped. But the comfort and exhilaration of a shared daily life is underlined by fear - she doesn't really know who this man is, and he doesn't know if he can trust her and stop running.
