“Rape, murder and blackmail result when the town's most beautiful woman gets married.

“Sam Jamieson, Basil Beaumont-Foster, Brendon O'Keefe, Spud McGhee and Shorty Larsen eke out an existence in the small town of Kurikino, working seasonally at the local freezing works.

“The end of each day sees them gather in the local pub, the Brian Boru, where they are served solace from the blood and filth of the works.” - New Zealand Film Commission; www.nzfilm.co.nz/film/pallet-on-the-floor; 31/01/2014.

Adapted from the Ronald Hugh Morrieson novel.
