Dick

A “No Hands” FILM
WRITTEN BY Josh O'Neill

(Songs in parenthesis)

Dick was abandoned on Beatrice and Fred’s doorstep at ‘Villaggio Paradiso’ (Sunny Days at Villaggio) almost twenty-one years ago. Dick’s adopted parents and the rest of the inmates at the retirement village manage to keep him a secret from the authorities, which run the place like a concentration camp.

He loves his parents and elderly friends but knows there’s more to life than hiding from the fascist village warden (Mussolini March) and nursing the olds’ hangovers when they’ve been at illicit underground foam parties.

(A Good Day For Adventure) One day, a beautiful backpacker appears in the village. The electricity between her and Dicky is unbearable and their eyes are locked for what seems liked an eternity. Before a word is uttered, the girl is whisked away by evil henchmen and Dick’s left wondering what hit just happened (Heart Terrorism).

With nothing to lose, Dick sets off in his parents 1972 Wolseley to rescue his first love. He picks up a mad surfer who teaches him how to survive in the real world (Take the Drop), finds clues to his missing “fiancé” and is captured and knocked out by The Samoan CIA (The Coconut Song) who has been hired by a mysterious hooded man.

Will Dicky discover his true identity? Will Dicko find his true love? Who is the terrifying Space Warlock? (I Am The Annihilator).

Not everyone likes Dick but everyone wants Dick!
