This Australian black comedy is set in a migrant Greek and Turkish community in the suburb of Brunswick in Melbourne, Australia. The film's director John Ruane had grown-up in a migrant community himself in the same Melbourne city but in the suburb of Pascoe Vale.
The movie showing at the cinema was another Australian film Howling III (1987).
"The script was rejected by all the major distributors, but backed by Film Victoria and the Australian Film Finance Corporation, and the Overseas Film Group in Los Angeles" according to film critic and film historian Paul Byrnes at the website 'Australian Screen'.
The movie was nominated for five AFI (Australian Film Institute) Awards in 1991 but failed to take home a gong in any category.
According to Eamon Donnelly at the website 'The Island Continent', this Australian movie "has been credited as the first modern Australian black comedy" cinema film.
