The case of the Elephant Man is one of the great unsolved mysteries of medicine. What was the terrible curse that turned Joseph Merrick into history's most horribly deformed man? How did he keep his sanity as the disease ravaged his body?

This dark comedy is set in Dunedin, New Zealand. A university student finds an old "abandoned" house and proceeds to invite other students to share. It even has running electricity. But what is the catch?

It's the late 1950s, and the DJ of a nostalgic radio program, out-of-date in the time of the Beatles, has just been fired. On his last broadcast, he decides to play requests, and a loyal listener (according to his ratings, just about his only listener) asks for her late husband's favorite song. But when fate intervenes, the DJ has to prove just how far he'll go to make his biggest fan happy.
