Ten years after the collapse of the West’s economies, Australia has become a no-man’s land, a haven for desperate people attracted by the remaining mineral reserves. People like Eric, stony, angry and adrift. His fury explodes when someone steals his car, his last remaining asset, and to recover it he goes after the gang that stole it. He is accompanied by the brother of one of the thieves, young and naïve Rey, who was abandoned after being wounded during a heist.

Declaration
film director
“The Rover is set in an unspecified near-future, but is, in essence, a film about today. It’s about the rapacious capacity for under-regulated Western economies to destroy themselves and it’s about the inevitable shifting balance of global power. It’s about the seemingly intractable problems of human greed and environmental destruction and the despair these forces might elicit in struggling people. More than anything, it’s about the ways these factors affect the emotional lives of individuals.”
