The Plains is a hybrid film that reconstructs repeated daily life in a unique format. Film director and barista David EASTEAL made this impressive feature debut by filming Andrew, a lawyer in his late fifties who works in the same building, as he leaves work outside Melbourne. Boldly, almost all of the just over ten shots that make up a three-hour running time were shot with a camera fixed to the backseat of Andrew's car. Andrew goes home alone, sometimes with David in the passenger seat, driving the same road every single day. The film follows Andrew's back and repeated landscapes, while listening to phone calls, self-talk, and conversations with David. Then at one point, it reaches a three-dimensional perspective of Andrew’s career, personal life, and internal conflicts. As Abbas KIAROSTAMI did in Ten(2002), the use of camera in The Plains accurately shows how the film constructs reality. And the abruptly inserted drone shot by Andrew gives a surprising sense of freedom. It is a cinematic experience that only documentaries can offer.​
