THE OYSTER FARMER (Drama MA, Stars: Alex O’Lachlan)
A story about a young Australian man who runs away up an isolated river and is employed by eighth generation oyster farmers.
A man is employed by eighth generation oyster farmers? Sounds really great!

Convince me, what would your synopsis be Jess? (nb. has to be short)
:)
Will.
How much would the story have changed if it were 7th or 9th generation oyster farmers? Surely it would be suffice to say “…from a long line of oyster farmers”.
I don’t really get the hilarity, these synopses all seem pretty accurate to me. I saw Monster In Law (not voluntarily mind you) and that pretty much sums it up. And the War of the Worlds description sounds pretty accurate from what I saw of the trailer.
Actually Oyster Farmer is a fantastic Australian film – original and intriguing. It is all filmed on the Hawksbury River in NSW and some of the cinematography combinined with music is very striking. The life of the oyster farmers is fascinating. You should be kicking yourself you were turned off by the synopsis!
