A young boy grows up in Japan, raised by his mother among the clamour of industrial machines at the local fish cannery. One day in the late 1980s he receives a plane ticket, along with a letter from his father telling him it is time for him to come and live in Australia. What follows is a surreal, black comedy - a seductively hip, hilariously funny satire of popular culture and consumerism. Oink, Oink, Oink is a savage modern fable about science, family, television, and love gone wrong.
