'THIS Australian film is all about the relationships of three people - a man and two women, their conflicts and their ecstasies, set against the turbulence of Melbourne's 1970 anti-Vietnam war ferment. John Derum [...] plays Richard, a radical journalist of bigamous inclinations. His women are Dee (Judy Morris), an actress who is his political alter ego, and Penny (Briony Behets), the girl with whom he is living. They are seen [...] in confrontation, after the previously unsuspecting Penny has caught Dee and Richard together. Penny and Richard drift miserably apart, but she and Dee are drawn together, despite their rivalry. While Richard is away in Sydney, they meet and become friends.

'Dee persuades Penny to join her for a brief stay at a farmhouse beside the sea. There [...] they discuss their feelings for Richard, who is nonplussed to find the girls together. They eat together uneasily in the farmhouse kitchen [...], but their relationships are unstable and events build rapidly to a crisis.'
