Following a four-minute clinical death from heart attack, Harry Joy (Barry Otto) returns to life finding the certainties of his former existence have vanished.

Harry is convinced he is in hell and it takes an angel in the form of an ex-prostitute called Honey Barbera to return him to bliss.

I remember seeing this wonderful adaptation of Peter Carey's novel years ago, but a copy is hard to find these days, except maybe in Oz. Pretty much a dark comedy as Harry Joy is forced to re-evaluate his seemingly uneventful life after suffering a heart attack.
