# Whole New Thing (2005)

2005 · 92 min · Drama, Comedy · Canada


## Synopsis

Whole New Thing is a 2005 Canadian drama film directed by Amnon Buchbinder. The film is a coming-of-age narrative about a 13-year-old boy, Emerson Thorsen who lives in an isolated straw-bale house with his counter-cultural parents, Rog and Kaya. However, when Kaya decides that homeschooling provides too little structure for Emerson, she enrolls him at the local middle-school under the tuition of 43-year-old Don Grant. Emerson, despite displaying a developed intellectual approach to sexuality, discovers the problems that come with developing a crush, and the taboo of this crush being his male teacher.
