夫を悲惨な事故で失ったシングルマザーのアメリアは、一人息子のサミュエルと共に暮らしていた。サミュエルは学校でしばしば暴力的な行動を起こす問題児。言うことを聞かない息子に手を焼き、アメリアは疲れ果てていた。一方、サミュエルは、母親の読み聞かせで眠りにつくのが習慣で、その日はアメリアの知らない一冊の本を取り出し、彼女に読んで欲しいとせがむ。どこか薄気味の悪いその絵本は「ババドック」というキャラクターが登場する不思議な本だった。
Aunt Edna
Fairly sensitive melodrama about life on the back-roads in Australia at the height of the Great Depression. Centring on the developing romance between two drifters this presents a commendable level of period detail. Based on the novel by Kylie Tennant.
Mrs. Falkland
Fourth adaptation and first made for television of the classic Australian bushranger novel "Robbery Under Arms" by Rolf Boldrewood. Made by the South Australian Film Corporation during the mini-series boom of the 1980s and lensed in the Flinders Ranges, it stars Sam Neill as the infamous Captain Starlight.
Mrs. Vanderberg
During the Boer War, three Australian lieutenants are on trial for shooting Boer prisoners. Though they acted under orders, they are being used as scapegoats by the General Staff, who hopes to distance themselves from the irregular practices of the war. The trial does not progress as smoothly as expected by the General Staff, as the defence puts up a strong fight in the courtroom.
