Loren Taylor's directorial debut, “The Moon is Upside Down”, is an uproarious and cleverly dark-humoured rollercoaster. Against the backdrop of New Zealand's stunning countryside and gritty urban suburbs, three characters grapple with an insatiable yearning for connection.
London, England, April 1980. Six terrorists assault the Embassy of Iran and take hostages. For six days, tense negotiations are held while the authorities decide whether a military squad should intervene.
Laura is about to marry Daniela, the girl of her dreams, when she realizes she is actually dreaming. Trying to avoid further embarrassment by carrying on the narcoleptic charade, Laura inadvertently insults Daniela and learns that sometimes you have to take care of your fantasies in order to find happiness in your reality.
There's no place like home...because it doesn't exist. After living in New Zealand as an immigrant for over 20 years, a young filmmaker takes a journey back to Iran after a 17-year absence to find out whether or not she would still be considered an outsider even in what is termed her 'homeland'.
