Over seven hallucinatory days, a village with no name, in an undefined time and place, disappears. In Tsangari’s tragicomic take on a Western, townsman-turned-farmer Walter Thirsk and befuddled lord of the manor Charles Kent are childhood friends about to face an invasion from the outside world: the trauma of modernity.
Billy-John is sick of doing nothing, going nowhere, and nothing ever-changing so he decides to leave small-town Papakura and head for the bright lights of the Gold Coast. He just needs to break the news to his best mate, his girlfriend, and his ragtag but close-knit family.
