Review from IMDB

In the late 1950’s, Australia was in danger of being swamped by immigrants. They brought with them peculiar ways, peculiar food and percolated coffee, they took our jobs and our women. Plus ça change. Anxiety was at an all time high yet the difference between then and now, at least in this charmingly sugar-coated account by Bruce Beresford (MAO’S LAST DANCER), is that Australia was intrigued by, rather than frightened of, these newcomers. Strewth they talk funny and behave oddly, but their manners, their food and their coffee made all the difference.

In the late 1950’s, the high-fashion department at Sydney’s most fashionable department store was run by Magda, a Balkan immigrant (Julia Ormond) whose family escaped the war. She takes a shine to Lisa (Angourie Rice) who’s working the holidays, and introduces the young girl to a world beyond her meat-and-three-veg life. Initial resistance by Lisa’s white-bread co-worker Fay (Rachel Taylor) soon falls away when Magda’s dashing Hungarian friend, the aspirational Rudi (Ryan Corr) appears. He may talk funny and behave oddly, but his manners, food and coffee made all the difference.
