Frankie and Charlie have moved to a tiny house. They regret it. It’s Christmas Eve. Frankie is miserable. Charlie’s organised a festive family lunch. Then Charlie finds a disoriented cockatiel by the river. She tucks him into a box and brings him inside. Little do they know – this bird has its own agenda. Nobody seems to notice something strange has started falling from the sky.

Three queer misfits inhabit the Australian bush, scavenging debris from a ruined society. They live in a mundane dystopia, sleeping among human rubbish and playing with unfamiliar artefacts. After the arrival of a mysterious stranger through a nearby drainpipe, their reality descends into a psychedelic dreamscape.
