| Description |
The Man is an elocution teacher in the Melbourne suburb of Toorak and a closet transvestite whose ony pleasure comes from dressing up with his friend Bruce. The stutterers and stammerers amongst his speech pupils are amusingly tolerated until 12-year old Benjamin Franklin startles The Man with his obsessive sexuality; the intertwining of their lives precipitates discovery and disaster. |
