As the friendship between Andrew and David deepens, they begin to confide in each other about their personal struggles and anxieties. Andrew is dealing with a recent divorce and estrangement from his children, while David is struggling with his sexuality and coming out to his conservative family.
As they continue to share their stories, they also begin to explore the changing landscape of Melbourne’s outer suburbs, where rapid development and gentrification are causing tensions and displacement among the community. They witness protests and clashes between developers and residents, and confront their own complicity in the changes happening around them.
As the year progresses, Andrew and David’s friendship is put to the test when they find themselves at odds over a major local development project. Their different perspectives on the issue threaten to tear them apart, but ultimately they come to a deeper understanding and respect for each other’s points of view.
In the end, Andrew and David’s friendship serves as a beacon of hope and compassion in an increasingly divided world, showing that even small acts of kindness and understanding can make a difference.
