ROAD
A woman awakens paralysed on a deserted outback road with a dead kangaroo to her left and a smashed motorbike to her right. During the next 24 hours, she encounters dangers from the present and is haunted by the past.
In the searing heat with her only protection a petrol-soaked top, a delirium overtakes her and she is ‘visited’ by those closest to her, who bring accusations and clues to her predicament. As darkness falls her hopes of being rescued are becoming grim.
Fighting for survival is a hopeless task. She feels the environment calling her and starts to transform, into a hybrid kangaroo/woman. Wandering the wasteland, she now has one quest… vengeance.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Man, or Human, versus nature movies have always frightened me. We believe we are in control of the planet, but just one bad choice could leave us vulnerable to justifiably malicious elements. To pay for our lack of care despite so decades of warnings, nature could take us out as a species in one mass global weather event, or, it could pick us off one by one, letting individuals make the errors.
