"A conservative, middle-aged couple try to save a floundering marriage with a trip to a new-age relationship retreat awash in sexual liberation and — on at least one day of the week — extreme nudity. They decide to give their failing marriage one last shot before calling it quits.

Arriving in an idyllic sanctuary nestled in the mountains, they uncomfortably enter a world of laughter workshops, tantric dance, sexual liberation and emotional animals,
helmed by the charismatic guru Bjorg Rassmussen. When new temptations start to take hold, the couple are pushed to the brink forcing them to look within to find what they really want. But will they bare all to get it?

A delightfully bonkers comedy set on a fictitious island (one that, funnily enough, bares an uncanny resemblance to various parts of New Zealand’s South Island), and shot entirely in a made-up language, this is a universal story of love and miscommunication, misinterpretation and reconnection, reminding us that love laid bare, needs no translation."

'Following on from the top rating, acclaimed Comedy Showroom pilot, and in partnership with Comedy Central (US), The Daily Show’s Ronny Chieng returns to Australia to give us more of his hilarious take on being a foreign student. He’s just got to deal with party-hard students, a neurotic faculty, unsociable housemates and his attraction to a pretty Aussie girl first.'

'International Student is the hilarious story of Ronny Chieng, a Malaysian student in Australia to study Law. Only making friends is not part of the curriculum.'
