In this independent Australian drama, gymnast-turned-boxer Danny is forced to reckon with his own identity following a violent incident at training. Kairos stars real-life gymnast Chris Bunton, who won three gold medals for Australia in the 2023 Special Olympics World Games.

The debut feature from writer/-director Paul Barakat, Kairos is a gripping coming-of-age story that challenges assumptions and invites audiences to see their own hopes and fears in its characters and story.
