Wood) and his 55 year-old best mate, Vince Hopgood (Peter Cousens), have
money problems.Ralph owns the local garage in the small country town of
Yackandandah, but is too lenient with his customers whilst Vince has just
received a massive tax bill thanks to the manipulations of his bitter
ex-wife. The two are buggered! Suddenly, Vince spots a newspaper headline
– the government has passed new legislation giving same-sex couples
equal tax breaks to married folk.This is the answer to Vince’s prayers!After
days of pleading and some begging, Vince persuades a very reluctant Ralph
that they should register as a same-sex couple – they can pool their incomes
and create a family trust and only the Tax Department will ever know! Two
weeks later a letter arrives, an investigator is coming to audit their claim.Suddenly,
Ralph and Vince, two blokes who don’t know if they’ve ever met a
gay person, two blokes who still don’t believe Rock Hudson really was
gay, now have a week to learn how to pose as a loving gay couple in a small
town that knows them as anything but….This is going to call for some
fancy footwork. After all they’re close mates, but not that
close!!
