Praise

A young, aimless man living in a rundown Brisbane flat becomes entangled in an intense and self-destructive relationship with a woman who suffers from severe eczema and asthma. Their affair is characterised by heavy drinking, drug use, and raw physical intimacy as both struggle with their own inadequacies and emotional damage. The film offers an unflinching portrait of marginalised urban life in Australia, drawn from Andrew McGahan's semi-autobiographical novel.
