When Barry Smith was a much younger man, he was more of a show-off than the enfant terrible of Australian art. A member of the Sydney Push and the Libertarian movement, his biggest claim to fame and his proudest moment was having an exhibition raided by the Vice Squad and shut down. Barry was on the front page of the Sunday Mirror for two weeks in a row when art and censorship were in the news. He regarded his lifestyle as uncompromising. Now years later, he is visited by two remarkable women. One is the daughter he hasn't seen for more than twenty years. The other is a complete surprise.
Geoffrey Atherden is best known for his highly successful situation comedy series, MOTHER AND SON for ABC TV for which he received many Australian and international awards. He also wrote the comedy drama series, GRASS ROOTS which received a total of 7 AFI awards.
