Muriel (Toni Collette) has run away to Sydney, where she shares a flat with Rhonda (Rachel Griffiths), her new best friend. A shy young man called Bruce (Matt Day) asks Muriel on a date, which turns farcical when they get physical on a beanbag. Rhonda is entertaining two Americans, who misinterpret Muriel’s loud laughter in the next room. As they wrestle Bruce to the floor, Rhonda falls and can’t get up. Summary by Paul Byrnes.
