| Summary |
Four young people take refuge in the Sydney Opera House on the eve of World War III. As they drink, flirt, reminisce and play strip poker, they gradually realise this might actually be their last night alive. A critical and commercial failure at the time of its release, this surreal satire has been described as 'absurdist-espresso-realism from John Duigan'. |
