The place is Melbourne, Australia 1978. The punk phenomenon is sweeping the country and Dogs In Space, a punk group, are part of it. In a squat, in a dodgy suburb, live a ragtag collection of outcasts and don't-wanna-bes who survive on a diet of old TV space films, drugs and good music. And the satellite SKYLAB could crash through their roof at any moment...

Just when you forget it’s set in Melbourne, someone says “Want a bite of my fairy toast?”

Without the heroine this is mostly good vibes. A great Aussie film.
