A working-class Australian couple, named Dossa and Joe, start marriage guidance sessions after Joe retires

Dossa and Joe is the wry tale of a working class couple, married for 40 years and living in a comfortable Australian suburb-two people who have spent their entire lives together without ever actually knowing each other. On Joe's retirement from the factory he has worked in for four decades, he and his wife find themselves drifting into discontent. Dossa insists they visit a marriage counsellor and so begins a series of visits to the therapist's sofa.

This Sydney-based series centres on a working class couple called Dossa and Joe. When Joe retires from his job as a factory worker, the couple realizes they know little about each other despite being married 40 years. Against Joe's wishes, the couple begins marriage counseling.
