Synopsis

A group of skylarking young boys are out canvassing the neighbourhood at the same time as an elderly woman is losing the will to live. An unlocked front door presents an opportunity for the youths to rampage, unaware that anyone is home. The different energies of youth and old age are set on a collision course for tragedy in this powerful short film from writer-director Gregory King. Junk won Best Short Film at the 2001 NZ Film and TV Awards, and King has gone on to make feature films Christmas (2004) and A Song of Good (2008).
