Plot

1975: A 200-ton blue whale gets washed up on a local beach and the kids think it’s the biggest thing that’s ever happened in Australia. Behind closed doors, the Mums and Dads of a quiet suburban street are going to celebrate in their own special way, by joining the sexual revolution and throwing a wife-swapping key party.

Sinekatalog’s take

In a quiet 1970s Australian suburb, a beached whale distracts the kids while the parents plan a wife-swapping party. The comedy is colorful, cheeky and nostalgic, with a loose tone. A saucy, retro romp for fans of period farce.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
