Plot Summary:A voice says, "There are 1,000,000 moments in your neighborhood; each has a fragile presence which fades almost as it forms." Ten such moments are dramatized, from a chubby man exercising and realizing that "sex" and "thing" go together to an ill, bored child discovering that most pieces of paper fit on top of a Scotties box. Along the way, a child races time, a matron thinks she hears a woodpecker, an unfaithful gay man wonders why his eyes can't focus on two depths simultaneously, Angela thinks about her uncle's pet pig as she eats pork, beer-drinking Ed recalls his school football days and vows to get back in shape, and a bachelor remembers his mother.
简·坎皮恩生于新西兰,却是在澳洲电影电视广播学院念电影,1982至1984这段期间,她所拍的四部短片就已展现出惊人的透视观点与影像张力,包括刻画青少女纯真梦想的【披头狂少女】、性别剥削的心理剧点影《性骚扰》、实验性强烈的《私语時刻》、以及在戛纳获得最佳短片金棕榈奖的《橘皮内战》。从这些作品,我们不仅看到澳洲短片传统的优异,更看到一颗敏感的电影心灵如何萌芽。
