synopsis


Gordon is a chain smoking asthmatic living in a flea-bag establishment with a bunch of other down and outers. He's low on energy from the disease and ennui, and emotionally drained from ten years of unrequited love. An oppressive, overheated Brisbane provides the backdrop to this explosive love story. An unfocused twentysomething (Peter Fenton) moves in with a former co-worker (Sacha Holder), who is suffering from low self-esteem because of her weight, looks, and a case of eczema. Their relationship is based on unending drink, drugs, and sex. Curiously, though the two are presented in a tender and humorous light that lets the viewer get involved in concerned about their direction.
