Assembled from more than 25 years of footage, starting in Super 8 and ending with digital video, Melbourne-based experimental filmmaker Dirk de Bruyn's lens captures the comings and goings of Australian suburban life. A nostalgia-filled soundtrack accompanies footage of empty backyards, over-crowded lounge rooms and sun-drenched porches. Interspersed with line-animation, de Bruyn recalls an Australia that no longer exists in this time-lapse feature length film.
