Gordon (Peter Fenton) is an apathetic, chain-smoking asthmatic living in a grubby apartment in Brisbane. When he meets barmaid Cynthia (Sacha Horler), who suffers from eczema, the two begin to have sex, play Scrabble, and confront their pathetic situations. Based on a semi-autobiographical novel by Andrew McGahan, this festival favorite is an example of Australian cinema at its most quirky and impassioned. [More]
