Despite his ailing health, Cass leaves Sydney, hitting the road for his long- forsaken childhood home of Bundaberg in regional Queensland. Cass’ memories and traumas are reignited as he rediscovers Bundaberg, opening his heart to a spiritual exploration amongst the community. He crosses paths with a local fish and chip shop worker, Andrew, a second-generation Chinese Australian who is suddenly confronted with the death of his father. Cass and Andrew’s stories of loss intertwine, seeing them exchange emotional comfort during their most turbulent times. “Flathead” combines fiction with real events to reveal a part of modern Australian culture rarely represented in cinema.
