Mocudrama, duration 54 minutes

Beginning in documentary form, four characters - Sean, Minnie, Saul and Karina - answer questions
about love, adoration and misplaced infatuation. As their answers evolve and it becomes clear that
they are trapped in a rotating love quadrangle, the form segues into drama: Sean, the failed artist,
is enamoured with Minnie, a curator at a classy gallery, who used Sean for a one-night stand but would
rather forget him. She's in love with Tim the theatre entrepeneur, who is really Saul the forensic pathologist
(he lies about his name and profession because girls don't like men who perform autopsies). Saul,
however, can't stop thinking about a girl he met once at a country petrol station - Karina, who can't
remember him at all, and anyway she's head over heels for Sean, the failed artist, who loves Minnie....

The consequences are tragic, with some salvation in the shape of a hapless metal flower. 

Stars Sean McCallum as Sean, Minnie Latham as Minnie, Saul Baker as Saul and Karina Bracken as Karina.
