Small-town New Zealand comedy-drama about Michael (Jordan Selwyn) - a 16-year-old whose passion for maps helps him escape his ordinary life and enjoy a state of isolation from those around him. But there are three women he can’t shut out – his single mother Amelia, a blind 20-year-old called Mary and Alison , a friend whose ‘grace betrays darker secrets’ apparently.
Acting
Rebecca Gibney's suffocating love as Amelia.
Cinematography
Maps as visual poetry, geography as emotional landscape.
Director
Harold Brodie
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Harold Brodie's only feature film; he returned to advertising after this vanished without trace.
Part of a brief 2000s wave of NZ films about stunted masculinity in provincial towns—think In My Father's Den with less murder.
