In a National Park, a goanna snatches a baby and a media frenzy erupts. See if you can recognise the voices. This was an AFI winner for best animation.

22 year old Min (Sara Browne) loses her job, her apartment and her boyfriend. She is totally destitute so her best friend Jaz (Astrid Grant) suggests that she move in with David (Nicholas Bishop). David is getting over a break-up with his girlfriend by bringing home a different woman every night. Meanwhile Jaz and her boyfriend Stanley are going through a rough patch and Min is gradually drawn towards Stanley. The complications that arise in the changing relationships are touching and funny. Writer/director Brad Hayward made the film on a shoestring budget of around $45,000 with Roadshow picking up the tab for post-production. Although this is not a great film it is a pleasant way to spend 81 minutes and is a promising debut for both the director and the cast.
