1968 Sofia

'My Place' is the story of one spot in South Sydney over 260 years. Starting in 2008, and taking us back to before European settlement, the series introduces us to 26 kids, all with a talent for some kind of trouble, each hiding up the same ancient fig tree, and each with a story to tell. It’s a rare child's eye view of the history of Sydney told through a 26 half hour series and interactive website. In '1968: Sofia', Sofia is a spy for the yayas and determined to get rid of her brother Michaelis’ anglo girlfriend, Janice, before he leaves for Vietnam. She tries everything to derail the budding romance –from mistranslating a conversation between her mother and Janice, to putting lipstick kisses on all Michaelis’ collars, to sending Janice an angry letter from Michaeils’ non- existent Greek girlfriend. And she succeeds. When the moment of Michaelis’ departure for war arrives, Sofia realises there’s something far worse than her brother having a girlfriend.
