Friends meet at a farm house to await the birth of a baby.

Two children get stranded in the desert in Australia's Top End.

Dorothy is living out the Australian dream and has fantasies to escape the boredom. She rebels against her expected role and gets involved with selling sex aids to housewives.

Mercy Steele remembers her close-to idyllic childhood in rural Queensland in the twenties. Images of the landscape, abundant foods and fruits interspersed with reconstructed snatches of the way things were, show a simple life that belies the tragedy which her family later suffered. Constructed images of a lush and beautiful place suggest an uncomplicated life of harmony and abundance reminiscent of a late 19th century European way of seen Antipodean landscapes.

Set in working class Brisbane in 1953, Stations is an evocative short drama featuring Noni Hazelhurst as a young woman coning to terms with her romantic illusions. “A sensual piting of black-and-white social realism against memory-hazed fantasy sequences . . . It is a film of immediate and engaging feel for human weakness and strength”

Gino Pallazetti is in love with Lucia Petri and his career as a stand up comedian is about to take off.
