- Synopsis:
- "Smash Palace" concerns itself with the marriage of former racing driver Al (Bruno Lawrence) and French-born Jacqui (Anna Jemison). The pair had met when she nursed him back to health following a career-ending injury. They married, returned to Al's native New Zealand to take over his late father's wrecking yard business - the Smash Palace of the title - and had a child. But over time stagnation has set in, Jacqui's resentment of Al has grown, and things are threatening to spill over...
