The lrtIeys are an impoverished family that are uprooted from their isoIated ruraI existence by the intrusion of a highway through their property. They receive a large sum of money for the road but hide it under their mattress for safe keeping whiIst continuing their pastoral existence. The chiIdren, Naomi and Bruvver, are dazzIed by their newfound experiences of the outside worId and persuade their parents to take them to a nearby country carnival. The famiIy become separated in the confusion of the bright lights and excitement of the carnivaI and the chiIdren become prey to hustIers. Naomi is enthralIed by a daredeviI motorcycle rider who initiates her into womanhood in a degrading circus act in front of a paying audience. Bruvver becomes involved with a flashy stripper who Iooks forward to spending the hidden money. Sixteen is a simple parable-Iike film; the stripper, the daredeviI motorcycIe rider and a seIf-procIaimed Parson who feels 'calIed' to share in the lrtely's rewards must take advantage of the meek in order to survive. |
