Synopsis:

Hal Fleming (Abe Forsythe) is at a turning point in his young life - no longer a boy, not quite the man. His journey is one of wide-eyed optimism as his town and the country are intoxicated with the spirit of the Olympics and the Centenary of Federation. Hal gets his licence, first car, the right to drink the right to vote and falls in love with Randa (Bojana Novakovic), a young Afghani refugee. But there is a shifting of consciousness in the town and the nation about refugees, border protection and their place in the world. The cloud of racism and intolerance hovers ever so heavily above Hal and Randa's world and Hal's heart is broken when he realises that his town is one in which he no longer belongs. Written by John Doyle and directed by Cherie Nowlan, featuring a stellar support cast including Abbie Cornish, Gyton Grantley, Matthew Le Nevez, Katie Wall and Graeme Blundell, Marking Time is both a celebration and a challenge to the idea of contemporary Australian life.

Romeo and Julie story set in a rural Australian town. MARKING TIME traces Hal's journey from boy to man over the period of one year. At the outset, the town and the country are intoxicated with the spirit of the Olympics, and the Centenary of Federation. Hal gets his licence, first car, the right to drink, the right to vote, and falls in love with Randa, a young Afghani refugee. But there is a shifting of consciousness in the town and the nation about refugees, border protection and their place in the world. Hal's heart is broken when he realises that his town is one in which he no longer belongs.

An 18 year old boy, Hal (Abe Forsythe), struggles with his home country community of Brackley. When some Afghani refugees arrive in town, Hal finds himself falling in love with one of them. A girl by the name of Randa. As their relationship grows, Hal realises that the outside world is tumultuous and full of hate. Not disimilar from Brackley...
