It’s 1999. Netta is drowning—a sick child, a business bankrupting her before it has even begun, and a landlord pounding at the door. When Julian’s father cancels their long-promised weekend together, everything begins to unravel. Determined not to let her son down, she clings to the one thing she can still control - getting Julian to his final year footy presentation. But the world doesn’t care about Netta’s promises. A disapproving mother, a salon that won’t open, and a questionable deal on the other side of town. With no other way to make it back in time for the presentation, Julian begs Netta to take the West Gate Bridge - a bridge weighted with the ghosts of her dead father - unable to, Netta refuses. But grief unspoken, is grief misunderstood. And her son, once her ally, turns against her. As her life unravels, so does her grip. A fight with her ex turns physical. Julian runs away. When she finds him, collapsed and barely conscious, she is forced to face everything she has spent her whole life outrunning - the loss of her father and her determination to never rely on anybody again. Rough-edged and unfiltered, WESTGATE is a portrait of a woman who refuses to be softened, a child who sees too much, and a city that has never made space for them.
