Settling into the dusty sheep station where his loyal and hardworking family have lived for generations it is not long before the interminable flies and heat of the harsh sunburnt land get to the couple sparking a spectacular movement of discontent. Frustrated by the arrogance and distraction of their new lodgers Jack (John Hargreaves) and Sally (Kerry Fox) take umbrage at the suggestion that they sell up the farm and move on determined to defend their estate by any and all means possible. And when local doctor and resident playboy Max (Sam Neill) joins the mix he instantly becomes drawn to the flirtatious Deborah compelled to make regular house calls raising scandalous suspicion within the otherwise conservative community. A lively retelling of Anton Chekhov s classic play Uncle Vanya Country Life is a cheeky romp lusciously capturing an era of Australian history with both pathos and aplomb.
