My First Summer

My First Summer (2020) is an Australian coming-of-age drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Katie Found. Sixteen-year-old Claudia, played by Markella Kavenagh, has spent her entire life on an isolated rural property, cut off from school, other kids, and almost everything beyond the garden fence.

Then Grace — Maiah Stewardson — wanders in. It's Claudia's first real friendship, and it becomes something more before the summer ends. Found directs with a lightness that suits the story: no heavy-handed lessons, just two teenagers discovering the world through each other. At 78 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome.
