Synopsis:

Noah is not your average insurance adjuster. Specialising in house fires, Noah will do anything to wease the pain of his tragedy-stricken clients - including bedding them. But as his desire to sexually underwrite strangers swells to the point of obsession, Noah realises that his wife and son are steadily fading out of his life. And when a bizarre twist of fate turns Noah's entire world upside down, he just might find that the only person he can't save is himself.

A reflection about what makes everyone's life unique, through the story of Noah's family. Noah is an adjuster, having sex with his customers. His wife Hera watches pornographic movies for the Board of Censors. They live with their son Simon and Hera's sister in a show-flat. One day, they meet Bubba, who wants to make a movie in their house.

The Adjuster tells the story of an insurance adjuster who becomes intimate with his clients. The adjuster initially appears to want to help his clients but as the movie unfolds it is clear that the situation is more complex. He seems to be somehow a victim of his own situation.
