The story

The small town of Minyaka (aboriginal word for 'tomorrow') is run by greedy councillors who ignore the needs of the children; having promised them a swimming pool, children’s library and playground but for months the town has been suffering from a great drought. The heat and dust become almost unbearable until one day, during a council meeting, a mysterious and gentle stranger, known only as Fluteman (John Jarratt), offers to make it rain by playing his flute; though under the condition that he be paid $1,000. The councillors mock him and say that they will pay him $5,000 if he can make it rain by sundown of the following day.
