"The Rage in Placid Lake" (2003) is an Australian film starring Ben Lee and Rose Byrne. It is about Placid Lake (Lee), a seventeen year old boy who has led a suburban hippy life with his free loving parents. The film documents his journey of self-discovery as he rejects his hippy roots and embraces the mundane by working for an insurance agency - much to his parents' horror.

Plot

Precocious, bohemian teenager Placid Lake finishes high school and decides to do the one thing that will annoy his new age parents the most - to go conservative. With a few weeks spent reading a library of self-help manuals, Lake gets a haircut, bespoke suit, and gets a white collar job working for an insurance agency. Lake has a smart friend Gemma (played by Byrne) who tries to talk him out of his newly found economic rationalism.
