An elderly farmer fighting against searing drought; the loss of his family and livelihood must face his impending demise.  An exploration of decaying masculinity set against the harsh Australian landscape. A sophisticated and poetic piece of filmmaking that deals with the land, masculinity and the destruction of the Australian bush mythos

Gordon, a 25-year-old chain-smoking asthmatic who unhappily works at a Brisbane bottle shop, moves into a run-down residential hotel. He becomes embroiled in a romance with Cynthia, a former co-worker who suffers from eczema and low self-esteem. Gordon and Cynthia occupy themselves with drink, drugs, sex, and Scrabble. A love triangle arises when Gordon's former love, Rachel, comes back into his life.
