Two guys show up at the beach. It seems that a riot is scheduled but they are the only two people there. It's all very, very surreal, as apparently they are on different "sides" and they chat a bit and act rather cordial. In fact, as the film continues, they become friendlier and friendlier and seem to have a lot in common. Later, you even see them playing cricket together and talking about Playstation games. It all obviously is about the stupidity of racism and not being Australian, I have no idea what exactly the riots are supposedly about or which "side" is which. I could easily, however, see this film working in practically any country as humans seem to have an innate need to see the world in terms of "we" and "they". Clever without coming off as preachy.
