Matariki

OPENING IN CINEMAS: 18th Nov 2010

Kiwi independent drama from debut director Michael Bennett (TV's Outrageous Fortune).

Rick, Tama’s brother, learns to stand up for himself and Megan, Tama’s wife, comes to accept the love that surrounds her; while Lisa, pregnant and wishing on angels, finds a real angel in Tyrone, a big-hearted man who sells Matariki icons in the weekend markets.
