This Christmas, Milonas and his fellow seafood retailers at Melbourne s historic food market will sell 12 tonnes of cooked prawns and almost 1200 dozen oysters between them. The second-generation fish seller is betting Christmas 2020 will break records as Victorian families shake off their lockdown shackles and regroup over the holiday season. Sydney rock oysters are at their best between September and March.

Four friends living together and working to develop an app discover a hidden room in their house and, in it, a magic mirror that can portal them to different, but nearly indistinguishable, parallel universes. Eager to capitalize on the nearly unlimited resources of the multiverse, Leena (Georgia King), Noel (Martin Wallström), Devin (Aml Ameen), and Josh (Mark O’Brien) soon devise a number of get-rich-quick schemes, mostly at the expense of their own parallel selves.
Their pursuits of money, power, lust, love, and second chances start to reveal fractures in their friendship and in their morality, and when one of the group dies, the others must decide how far they’ll go to make things normal again.
