This comedic thriller from writer/director Richard Riddiford (Arriving Tuesday)  plays out in pre-crash 80s Auckland, with the CBD skyline changing weekly, brick-sized phones, shadowy corporations on the rise and the share market on everyone's lips. With a second harbour crossing due to be announced, a telephone operator (future events maestro Mike Mizrahi) and a waitress moonlighting as a dominatrix (Lucy Sheehan) become ensnared in a web of corporate greed and blackmail. Chris Knox provides the music. The extensive outdoor sequences include a memorable chase scene at Kelly Tarlton’s.
