根据Madeleine St John所著同名畅销小说改编，设定在1959年的悉尼夏季，在澳大利亚的文化觉醒、阶级结构瓦解和妇女解放的背景下，讲述郊区女学生丽莎的成长故事。丽莎在等待高考成绩、梦想着去悉尼大学时，在一家大型百货商店打暑期工，与一群女售货员并肩工作，在此期间打开了眼界，也发生了蜕变。。Bipedalism, or 'two-footed walking', is the story of a painter who grew up in an orphanage and only years later learns the circumstances of his father's disappearance and death. Childhood memories bring the main character back to the past: he buys a house in the suburbs that used to belong to his family. In the basement, he finds his father's archives and scientific research documents on the hybridization of human race with related biological species. Studying the archive material, he unexpectedly finds evidence of efforts to renew the experiments on the remaining hybrid population. The painter then becomes a researcher, and consequently a victim. The basic idea of his father's research was to change, control and influence the process of human evolution - initially connected with eugenics theories of the period before World War II, and now being placed in a context of modern 'biotechnological' expectations by his former colleagues. The main character tries to recreate and realize his father's heritage, who was forced to cooperate with state terror organizations, using the results of his secret research. In a tragic manner, this information turns into the main character's reality, at first forcing him to reappraise his father's values and later driving him to madness.
