Plot

Tilda (Holly Fraser) is an aimless lone wolf in her early twenties who has grown completely disillusioned with society. One morning she wakes up to find humanity mysteriously gone, and overjoyed she rampages across the city, vandalizing the Sydney Opera House and destroying the Queen Victoria Statue, crowning herself King of the World. Two years later Tilda has gone slightly crazy in her deteriorating kingdom, her only company being a talking, foul-mouthed rabbit named Shane (voiced by Glean De Goya). Shane tries to talk sense into Tilda who is now a severe alcoholic wasting her life away, his point being that she is still a part of the world and needs to take responsibility. Tilda won’t listen, but after inadvertently causing the death of Shane she begins a journey towards maturity, admitting that she’s lived a selfish life that was only given value by the people around her. She sings Waltzing Matilda at a funeral for Shane before finally fading away.
