Synopsis

In a small nook of heat-drenched coastal Australia, a traveling knife salesman, Tom, visits upon Mary, a frustrated housewife. As blades grind on stone, tensions build as Mary’s two boisterous children observe the couple playing out their all too familiar roles.

Directors’ Statement

With The Knife Salesman we wanted to create an off-beat thriller that would cast a light on the absurdity of modern gender roles and how we instill these archaic ideas onto the younger generation.
