AFTER THE DELUGE weaves together the lives of four ordinary men at a critical time in their family history.

The patriarch, Cliff (Ray Barrett) is suffering from Alzheimer?s and is reliving his buried memories of WWII. His three sons ? Alex (David Wenham), Martin (Hugo Weaving) and Toby (Samuel Johnson) ? reluctantly draw together to care for him, forcing them to face the nightmare of their past.

His elder brother Martin, a wild boy musician has eschewed his remarkable musical talent for a now dwindling pop fame.

And Toby, their younger brother, the forgotten child, hides in the suburbs too frightened to accept that his ideal of a family will never be realised.

When the war of words quietens, it is music which reconciles the brothers with a father for whom they could never be good enough.
