The story

The film is mainly a collage of various pieces of Australian film, past and present, including Miller's own Mad Max series. Miller focuses primarily on Australian cinema as a vessel of public Dreaming, creating a link between contemporary Australian cinema and the Dreamtime lores from a variety of Aboriginal Australian groups. Miller also places Australian cinema in the context of Joseph Campbell's monomyth concept.
