WESTERNERS follows three young diaspora adults navigating the chaos of life in Western Sydney, where even the simplest tasks spiral into the surreal.
Jackie, a struggling artist, makes a deal with the Devil to cure her creative block. Taz must choose between living with sentient sharehouse mold or even worse: moving back in with her parents. Dulla can’t walk down the street without being chased by a horde of women who all want to to play matchmaker. Between existential crises and absurd misadventures, they’re just trying to live their version of an ordinary life.
Blending sharp humor with heartfelt drama, WESTERNERS draws inspiration from modern ethno-surrealist comedies like Atlanta, BEEF, Man Seeking Woman, and Ramy. It’s Superwog if A24 made it. Atlanta set in Bankstown. A love letter to Western Sydney, told through an absurdist, yet deeply relatable lens.
