BFF25: Lollipop

Australian Premiere

Step into the emotional heart of Lollipop, a moving new drama that explores resilience, love, and the will to fight for family. Posy Sterling delivers a searing performance as Molly, a young mother freshly released from prison, determined to reunite with her children in foster care. The road is anything but straightforward: every bureaucratic step forces her to prove worthiness while battling a system designed to keep her at arm’s length. Without custody she cannot secure a home, yet without a home she cannot regain custody - a cruel cycle that threatens to undo her resolve.

Molly’s path is illuminated by Amina, portrayed with quiet power by Idil Ahmed. More than a friend, Amina becomes an ally and partner in reimagining what survival and motherhood can look like when society closes its doors. Together, they forge creative strategies to confront systemic obstacles, navigating heartbreak with humour, tenderness, and bold defiance.

Shot with raw intimacy, Lollipop is an ode to friendship, justice, and the fragile yet unbreakable bonds that define us.
