Head South is a coming-of-age drama set in 1979 Christchurch, where teenage dreamer Angus is drawn into the underground post-punk scene. Eager to fit in, he fabricates his musical talent and distances himself from his true friends. As his deceit unravels, Angus must confront self-doubt, peer pressure, and a family tragedy to become the musician he pretended to be. With raw energy reminiscent of bands like The Slits and Public Image Ltd, the film captures the spirit of youth, rebellion, and self-discovery in a nostalgic, punk-fueled journey.
