E: 30/04 Win The December Boys On DVD

The touching coming of age story based on the classic Michael Noonan novel, December Boys stars widely acclaimed young actor Daniel Radcliffe in his first feature film role outside of the Harry Potter films. Warner Home Video debuts the film to own on DVD from 24 March 2008 priced £9.99 RRP.


Set in Australia in the 1960s, four orphans, ‘Maps’ (Radcliffe), ‘Misty’ (Lee Cormie), ‘Sparks’ (Christian Byers), and ‘Spit’ (James Fraser) - nicknamed the December Boys as they were all born in the last month of the year - journey to the South Australian coast for their summer holiday.


During their stay, rumour circulates that a couple in the area are looking to adopt. Well aware that the gang are growing up quickly and will soon approach the age when they are too old for adoption, the tight bond between these four lads is tested as each of them feels they must compete for the family they always wanted.Relationships are frayed and new alliances formed as the December Boys take on their most important journey. In the end, each boy learns something about himself and his place in the world.


Multi award nominated Daniel Radcliffe gives a poignant and moving performance as the oldest of the December Boys, ‘Maps’ (Radcliffe) who is the first to discover life’s true cruelties. The story is narrated by ‘Misty’ (played by upcoming star Lee Cormie) who provides a unique child’s eye view of the daunting new events in the boys’ lives.
