A Good Man

New Zealand Premiere

Fourteen years ago, Rachel suffered a stroke. It was the day after Rachel and Chris told her parents she was pregnant. Although Rachel was in a coma for many months, the baby survived. Rachel recovered consciousness as a quadriplegic. Against all medical and family advice, Chris took both the baby and Rachel home. He went on to marry her and has never left her side. In fact, Rachel and Chris are expecting another child.

Chris, an Australian farmer strapped by years of drought, comes up with a bizarre solution to their financial woes — a brothel. Rachel approves and together they work towards making it happen. Although brothels are legal in Australia, there is still huge local opposition to their plans. Chris triumphs against all odds and manages to open the brothel. But now he faces
an even greater challenge. Can a good father and a loving husband really become a successful pimp?

Director Uberoi adeptly captures the humanity, humour, tenderness and tenacity of this remarkable man, who manages through the all the odds, to keep his family and farm together.
