HE DIED WITH A FELAFEL IN HIS HAND

“Some people will do anything to get out of paying the rent...”

A search for love, meaning and bathroom solitude. Danny goes through a series of shared housing experiences in a succession of cities on the east coast of Australia. Together these vignettes form a narrative that is surprisingly reflective.
