SYNOPSIS __________

Plot:
An Australian cement truck driver, Danny (Ifans), decides to try to escape his life in the drabness of the city after a fight with his girlfriend (Clarke) prevents him from taking a long-awaited vacation.

Tying large helium-filled balloons to his deckchair (ie, a lawn chair), Danny sails away into the sky, where a surprise thunderstorm sends him hurtling out over the Outback, eventually finding a small town to settle down in incognito, while the media whips itself into a flurry about his disappearance. Reinventing himself in the small northern town of Clarence, Danny soon falls in love with the town's only parking cop, Glenda (Otto).
