Lee Whitmore's careful, loving recreation of a quiet suburban street in Sydney in the 1950s and the moment when larger issues intruded in the form of the Petrovs, ASIO and the newspapers. Animated frame by frame by painting on glass, the film is rich in colour and poignant in its memories.

This film is only available as part of a DVD collection of Lee Whitmore's work, under the collective title, HAND-DRAWN HISTORIES.
