It’s the turn of the century, and the turn of the millenium and the world is about to end. This story follows the last hours and minutes of a group of people all living in the same city. It’s a very slow paced tale, with humour, tragedy and love throughout.

The central character is only concerned with spending his last minutes alone reflecting on his life, but will his relatives and chance encounters let him.

It’s a wonderful film, enhanced by great music and superb performances. This is McKellar’s directorial debut (he’d previously filmed two shorts) and heralds only good things given opportunities to expand on this.
