Life During Wartime
Friends, family, and lovers struggle to find love, forgiveness, and meaning in an almost war-torn world riddled with comedy and pathos.
Romper Stomper
Nazi skinheads in Melbourne take out their anger on local Vietnamese, who are seen as threatening racial purity.

A woman who is prone to epileptic seizures joins the skins' merry band, and helps them on their run from justice, but is her affliction also a sign of impurity?
