What happens
Absent Without Leave is a 1992 New Zealand drama film directed by John Laing and starring Craig McLachlan. It was entered into the 18th Moscow International Film Festival. It was summed up by Russell Edwards of Filmnews as "an incomprehensible WW2 soap opera about a dimwitted soldier (Craig McLachlan) and his whining clinging wife (Katrina Hobbs)."
