Madeleine Sami transforms into five acutely observed and very different characters all living in New Zealand's super city. There's Pasha, an aging cheerleader clinging to her partying lifestyle; Azeem, an immigrant taxi driver embracing Maori culture; Jo, a closeted gym instructor in love with her best friend; Linda, the runt of her "old girls" clique fostering impoverished artists and Georgie, a homeless girl whose freedom is unexpectedly interrupted. Super City is an edgy yet heartfelt satire. Sami's delusional characters shock through the ludicrously awkward scenarios they find themselves in.
