A search for love, meaning and bathroom solitude. Danny goes through a series of shared housing experiences in a succession of cities on the east coast of Australia. Together these vignettes form a narrative that is surprisingly reflective.

I'd just like to say that I've got a problem with you all accepting my homosexuality without question.That might be the best line I will hear this year.
