The film is set in the fictional Australian village of Paris in New South Wales . The residents of this village involve visitors in car accidents in order to rob them. The survivors of the accidents are taken to hospitals and subjected to a lobotomy . In the village, young men convert the wrecked cars into bizarre vehicles with which they tyrannize the older residents of the village. Arthur Waldo and his older brother George come to the village. An accident occurs in the course of which George is killed. Arthur is initially welcomed in the village, but soon notices that things are not going well there. When Arthur is about to leave the village, they tell Arthur that he has suffered irreparable brain damage that makes it impossible for him to work anywhere else.

criticism
"Softly macabre horror comedy about the destruction of a civilization, whose apparent order and idyll can only with difficulty hide the breaks and cracks under the surface."
