Description

Stephen, Josie and Simon are three students who meet for the first time at an English tutorial at Victoria University, Wellington, 1963. Drugs and protest are unknown, the macho cult of rugby still counts for more than intellect, the pubs close at six o'clock. Society is complacent, conforming and appararently unchanging. But the subsequent coming-of-age of the trio and their friends over the next six years coincides with a sexual and political revolution which blows them all apart. They become caught in personal and political struggles to come to terms with the new realities, at a time when both those who cling to the old values and those who embrace the new find their sense of security threatened.
