Noel and Faith are happily retired, and while away their time digging into the earth beneath their house and sifting for treasure from the knick-knacks and 'thingamajigs' of history; then a tremor shakes up “Dad’s excavations”. Adopting a low-dialogue storytelling approach, this reflective tale of finding life and meaning in the small things was a rare early screenwriting credit for author Elizabeth Knox (collaborating with director Neil Pardington). It screened as part of Kiwi shorts showcase at Cannes in 1994.
