Description A song-infused story about a social worker in a refuge and an addict who comes to the shelter for help. The two of them forge an uncertain union that treads the fine line between love and hate. What starts off as as a story about love becomes a more unsettling examination of the couple's inherent lack of connection. Maxwell's work is characterised by a minimalist acting style that deconsturcts the concept of acting as we know it.
