An irrationally optimistic Australian minstrel with a wicked sense of humour takes on the British in the 1970s. It was a way of thinking that was too much fun to last. It came, it flowered and then it grew up and got a mortgage. Tightly crafted and visually immediate. Full of the romance of youth. A must for dreamers and deep thinkers.
