The hilarious story of a nerdy, accident-prone building worker who has just been dumped by his girlfriend. At a backyard barbecue, he ascends into the skies over Sydney in a homemade, helium-filled contraption, returning to terra firma in a small rural outback town. Here, at last, life takes a turn for the better. With excellent, understated performances, Jeff Balsmeyer’s debut feature is a crowd-pleasing fantasy about a loser who discovers love and new life in a new world. (Independent Cinema Office)
