The Screen Guide

Four punked up Japanese surfers travel up the spectacular east coast of Australia, on a psychedelic road adventure. Shark is an urban Japanese cowboy in denial of his own consciousness. When his hyperactive Nintendo buddy Yuto arrives from Tokyo, they drive from Sydney to the Gold Coast of Oz in Shark's vintage Holden. While soaking up the Australian lifestyle, they are pursued by Shark's femme fatale ex-girlfriend Kimiko. However things get very weird when the intrepid travelers pick up the mysterious Gunja Man on a desert highway.
