5 Male 1 Female
Rich works at the docks and is tied up in too many deals. Sonia, his flatmate, is an usher at the cinema, cleaning up after people like Samantha, a final year med student who spends more time at the movies than at her books
Samantha studies mechanics with Belinda, a cleaner who believes in self-improvement and dreams of becoming a pop star. She cleans houses with Peta, who smokes Cuban cigars and years for the revolution
Between talk of engines and ecstasy, between fantasies of New York and the Virgin Mary, fifteen lives intersect as this multi-layered story explores life's infinite possibilities
