Show Of Hands is a new offbeat Kiwi love story centered on a car yard, where an endurance competition with a difference is being staged...
Starring Melanie Lynskey & Craig Hall In cinemas 13th November!
Synopsis continued...
The competition requires entrants to place a hand on a new Land Rover Discovery and keep it there. The winner of the car will be the person who keeps their hand continuously on it the longest. Attracted to this grueling Darwinian contest are people from every walk of life, who for one reason or another - avarice, poverty, anger, revenge, despair, loyalty, love - see their salvation in winning the glistening car. Inspired by a true story, Show of Hands pits all these motivations against each other, and in a grueling social experiment, reveals which human drive is the strongest. While it is an ensemble piece the primary focus is on two people: Tom is a single, obstinate, but charismatic bankrupt. Hes a lovable rogue and so brutally blunt to everybody that its funny. We like him, despite his shortcomings, which are mainly that he seems willing to do anything to win. Hes addicted to competition. He lives alone. Go figure. The other, Jess, is a solo mother and a park warden, and is at first only interested in winning the car only to help her invalided child. Shes nice as pie but feels (as we do) she isnt going to go very far. Not, at least, until her motives for winning unexpectedly change after Tom rubs her up the wrong way.

Anthony McCarten is one fine writer, for me, one of the best contemporary modern fiction writer!
