Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Peel, aka An Exercise in Discipline—Peel, is a 1982 short film (eight minutes) directed by Jane Campion.A family, consisting of a man named Tim, his sister Katie, and his son Ben who looks to be less than 10, are driving along some Australian back road, returning from looking at a lot of land the man wanted to buy. Katie is in a bad mood, sniping at her brother for not liking her opinion (she's skeptical about the land), complaining about being late returning and missing music television show Countdown. Ben, obviously bored stiff, is bouncing oranges off the car window. When he starts flinging pieces of orange peel out the car window, Tim flips out.

Extremely Short Time Span: A couple of hours, it seems.

Cluster F-Bomb: Katie starts dropping a lot of F-bombs after Tim parks the car and it becomes obvious she's going to miss her show.

Cabin Fever: A cramped car variant, as the three passengers are obviously hot and uncomfortable and tired of each other's company.

Bratty Half-Pint: Ben is acting out his boredom by thumping the orange against the window. When his father orders him to stop throwing orange peels out the window, Ben throws a tantrum.

Based on a Great Big Lie: The opening title proclaims "A True Story / A True Family". While it is a true family, the story is obviously scripted. (Tim Pye, who plays Tim, went on to a long career as a writer for Australian TV.)
