Nicolas Roeg's (The Man Who Fell To Earth) mystical masterpiece chronicles the physical, spiritual and emotional journey of a sister and brother abandoned in the harsh Australian outback. Under the pretence of having a picnic, a geologist (John Meillon, Wake In Fright) takes his teenage daughter (Jenny Agutter, The Avengers) and 6-year-old son (son of the director, credited as Lucien John) into the Australian outback and attempts to shoot them. When he fails, he turns the gun on himself and the two city-bred children must contend with harsh wilderness alone. They are saved by a chance encounter with an Aboriginal boy (AACTA Award winner, David Gulpilil, Storm Boy, The Tracker) who helps them survive, and in the process underscores the disharmony between nature and modern life. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that this program may contain images and sounds that may relate to deceased persons.
