Description Set in hot, steamy Queensland...Len is a banana picker, a whisker away from 40, a loser who lives with his mother, drinks too much, and litters his slumy plain house with pictures of Jesus. On the
night we meet Len, he's met a girl and is bringing her home...overwhelming lust versus the religiously fuelled certainty that Ruth is a godforsaken whore.
