Worse than Xmas

Australia, 1990

Film

Waitress Angela (Kaarin Fairfax) rushes home to save a doomed relationship. When she fails, she agrees with her neighbour that Easter is the worst time of year, even worse than Christmas. The film follows the funny and inevitable diversions that Angela takes to make it through the breakup and start dating again.
