Clem and Faye

10m Documentary, Short, Relationships 1978

He clocks off, she keeps it running – country life, unfiltered.

Clem works on a banana plantation in northern NSW. Faye runs the house, manages the kids and still finds time for tennis and squash. Clem’s rhythm is work, club, dinner, sleep. Faye’s is everything else. CLEM AND FAYE is a wry and revealing dual portrait of married life in small-town Australia. Through separate interviews, we hear both their stories – where they overlap, where they diverge and what they say about who does what and why.
