On the Waves Of the Adriatic

This is a story of a family cut off from society. The house, which serves as refuge for the members of the family as well as a few social rejects, is ruled by the iron hand of Graeme’s father, Steye who emigrated to Australia from Slovenia at the end of the Second World War. Graham and his two friends Stephen and Harold have never had a job and they spend their time collecting scrap parts of cars. For them, the greatest of dreams is to be able to drive a car but they cannot even read or write.
