Retrospective on the making of "Mad Max 2".

The fate of a young Australian boy is somehow linked with that of a young Roman boy who had traveled to Australia by ship during the time of the Roman Emperor, Nero.

Australia 1946. A young woman escapes from an unhappy affair to become tutor to three children who are being raised by their uncle.

When the small town of Minyaka suffers from a drought, a kind and mysterious stranger offers to make it rain by playing his flute; under the condition that he be paid. But after Fluteman makes it rain, and even stops it; the town council, blind by their greed and pride, refuse to pay him. Fluteman stands before the town and warns them of a curse he would bring; and so the next day the school playground fades into silence as all the children disappear into the bush... except one.

No futuro o bem mais precioso é a gasolina, em virtude de uma guerra que acabou com os campos petrolíferos do Oriente Médio. Tendo combustível pode-se fugir da morte ou se dirigir a algum lugar para matar alguém. Neste contexto, Max resolve ajudar uma comunidade a defender sua refinaria contra uma gangue de motoqueiros.
