Directing
Madisha’s morning couldn’t get any worse: a rootless Gen Z already struggling to find her purpose in life, she’s just learned that her housemate is ditching her and is still reeling from having lost her most recent job under cloudy circumstances. So when she gets a call advising her of fraudulent activity on her bank account and urgently requesting that she withdraw all of her money in cash, Madisha is sent on a panicked odyssey through the Melbourne CBD – a pursuit that leads her to ominous alleyways, busy street corners, an alcohol-soaked house party and, perhaps, the fledgling desire to take charge of her own life.
Set against the backdrop of a bleak suburban town on New Year's Eve 1979, a young boy working at the local roller-skating rink forms a bond with a girl skating there that night. This is a delicate story about 2 identities, who find solace in each other shared feelings of loneliness and isolation on the last night of the year.
