High school outcast Taylah Simpkins is certain that the upcoming Debutante Ball ‘the Deb,’ is her one chance to redefine herself and become the popular girl once and for all. When her cynical cousin from the city, Maeve, is sent to Taylah’s small farm town as punishment, she thinks the ball is a farce and immediately tries to disrupt the status quo. In their search for the spotlight, Taylah and Maeve dig deep to find self-acceptance – and a date to the Deb.

00:03It's me. It's your cousin, Maeve.
00:05Sorry, what?
00:08There's a Moments We've Made with your host, Maeve Barker.
00:11Our story starts in Dunburn, also known as the arsehole of Australia.
00:15I'm sorry, you're taking away valuable oxygen from my cigarette.
00:18Oh, sorry.
00:22Uh, yeah, that's your daughter.
00:26My mum's punishing me because I staged a protest.
00:30I think I might be the feminist voice of our generation.
00:32Fuck my life!
00:38You have a debutant bowl here?
00:40Yeah, it's like pretty white dresses coming out to society.
00:46This town is where feminism has come to die!
00:52I don't have a deb day, and I need one if I want to go.
00:57I'll get you a date.
01:00The air is thick with masculinity.
01:02And the unmistakable mask of Lynx Africa.
01:06I was just wondering maybe if you wanted to go to the deb with me, maybe?
01:10I'm going with Chantel.
01:11See you there.
01:23Oh!
01:24Well, this has been lovely.
01:25Thank you so much fun.
01:26Chantel, Chantel!
01:28Your friends in the city must love you.
01:30Mae Barker is a bully.
01:31Yeah.
01:32I want someone to, like, actually like me.
01:35Oh, my God.
01:36I do not understand why you're so desperate to settle.
01:38Look at where nice gets you.
01:40You know, your mum loves you very much.
01:42Exactly as you are.
01:49Go, Taylor!
01:52I've realised that the deb is more than just a tradition.
01:55It's about getting to feel special.
02:11That was so bad.
02:13You've embarrassed me.
02:14I'm going to go network.
02:19Hey, Razzie, let me hold your mullet back.
