ROYAL AFFAIR

$5.40 – $15.00

Flo and Queenie live in the shrinking country town of Dungarra. Now in their 60s, they've known each other since kindergarten, closest friends and deadliest rivals. When working class Flo is widowed, she is forced through economic circumstances to accept the hospitality of Queenie, the doctor's widow. Little do they know that their lives, and that of their friend Maurie, are about to be turned upside down. The Queen is coming to Dungarra on what could be the last Royal Tour, and Queenie is beside herself with joy - but Flo's mind is on saving the little town from economic ruin. Soon personal secrets are unearthed and old scores, still unsettled, rise to the surface...
