SBS has announced the director and first cast of the upcoming Arcadia series While The Men Are Away.
While The Men Are Away is described as a ‘queer revisionist historical dramedy set in 1940s rural Australia. While the men are off fighting in WWII, the people who have been excluded from power suddenly find themselves running the show. Two Women’s Land Army recruits from Sydney arrive in the country and undergo a heady course in race relations, rural politics, spirituality, sex, and personal growth and farming.’
