SYNOPSIS
Contemporary Melbourne. Winnie (Tilda Cobham-Hervey) runs a struggling underground bookshop with her activist boyfriend Conrad (Josh McConville) while looking after her younger brother Stevie (Chris Bunton). When Conrad becomes entangled in a terrorist plot, and is under-surveillance by the police, Winnie and Stevie’s world is upended, caught in an unexpected collision of inept anarchists, ambitious police and a corrupt politician. Jonathan Ogilvie’s intriguing political thriller drops Joseph Conrad’s classic novel The Secret Agent into a modern Australian setting where we are all under surveillance, tracked and identified. And both Big Brother and little brother are watching us!
“With facial recognition in retail stores, spyware on smartphones and cameras concealed everywhere, a skilled investigator will compile a day of your life into a film” - Jonathan Ogilvie.
