When the small town of Minyaka suffers from a drought, a kind and mysterious stranger offers to make it rain by playing his flute; under the condition that he be paid. But after Fluteman makes it rain, and even stops it; the town council, blind by their greed and pride, refuse to pay him. Fluteman stands before the town and warns them of a curse he would bring; and so the next day the school playground fades into silence as all the children disappear into the bush... except one.—Anonymous

For months the town suffered from a great drought. The heat and the dust was unbearable until one day, at a council meeting, a mysterious man offered to make it rain ... by playing his flute.—Official Home Video Sleeve Notes
