Hopscotch presents a new film from Down Under. Produced and filmed in New Zealand it is set for release early this year. The trailer looks very funny and it has received good reviews at the Berlin Film Festival.

“This film has got a lot of good bits.
It’s got bogans and penguins and toasted sandwiches.
It’s got a ginger cat and an awesome climax.
It’s got a really little dolphin.
It’s got hard-ons and hand brake skids.
It’s got sea lions.
It’s got a really cool lighthouse.
And it’s got Bret Mckenzie and Hamish Blake.” http://www.facebook.com/TwoLittleBoysfilm?sk=info

Synopsis: Everything goes wrong one night for Nige. Speeding down the road, he sees the police, panics, and before he knows it, he runs over and kills a Norwegian football star on a backpacking tour. Luckily, nobody sees the accident and so Nige promptly tips the body into a building site shaft and sets off in search of his best friend, Deano’s help. The latter immediately takes care of the situation – although getting rid of the corpse for good proves more time-consuming that they thought. The whole operation is more than a test of their friendship because the two guys have recently quarrelled. And then this absurdly nice flat-mate Gav also sticks his oar in. He doesn’t suspect a thing but he could be a dangerous witness. Director-and-screenwriting team, the brothers Robert and Duncan Sarkies, spin this darkly humorous tale with more than a soupcon of merriment and a strong affinity for the grotesque. Their film also movingly portrays a special friendship: deep inside, Nige and Deano are just two little boys who are thick as thieves – and even death cannot part them.
