On the Loose (Captioned) | Jane Oehr | ACMI collection | ACMI: Your museum of screen culture

A trilogy about three teenagers seeking their independence in the outside world after finishing school. The three stories show the problems faced by a generation leaving school in the mid 1980’s - boredom with school (“Exit Eddie Leach”). sexual pressures in the workplace (“Ring of Confidence”). and keeping a job (“Beginner’s luck”).
