It's the end of an era, and everything is about to change. History is at a turning point, with a global beauty pageant contest creating a media frenzy. But that’s nothing compared to the drama three seemingly ordinary families are enduring, in a town which will never be the same.
Last Days of the Space Age
DETAILS
It's the end of an era, and everything is about to change. A global beauty pageant is converging on a small town, and for three families, the drama unfolding on the world stage is nothing compared to what they’re going through. Tony and Judy are married and sit on opposite sides of an ugly power strike. Their youngest daughter Mia is going off the rails, while their eldest, Tilly, has her head in the stars. The Bui family grapple with the fate of their son, whose life hangs in the balance. For the Wilberforces, the threat of prejudice proves the flashpoint for monumental change. And Tony’s brother Mick forges an alliance with the USSR pageant contestant, not to mention her KGB minder. The stage is set for a moment in history which will push these families past their limits.
