A group of skylarking young boys are out canvassing the neighbourhood at the same time as an elderly woman is losing the will to live. An unlocked front door presents an opportunity for the youths to rampage, unaware that anyone is home. The different energies of youth and old age are set on a collision course for tragedy in this confronting short film from writer/director Kingi Rummler (aka Gregory King). Junk won gongs at the 2001 NZ Film Awards for Best Short, and for John Chrisstoffels' cinematography. Rummler has went on to make features Christmas (2004) and A Song of Good (2008).
