Description An Australian satire about mechanisation, the nature of work, malevolence, demolitions and love. E109 is starting out in a new job. At first, he's optimistic - he works at a turnstile, he wears a jaunty little hat. But when he meets Min, the new job starts to go horribly wrong. Despite this, he hopes that he and Min might, one day, escape work, fate, age, the company and house arrest together. Turnstiler is a story of travel and demolition; of imagination, naivete and love between a man-child and his ersatz wife.
