About this movie

Maori couple Jake and Beth Heke are deeply in love, but Jake's alcoholic-fueled rage turns into domestic violence that threatens to tear their family apart. As their home life grows increasingly dangerous, Beth must do all she can to protect their three children. Set against the backdrop of traditional tribal culture, this classic and contoversial 90's indie sleeper hit put New Zealand on the cinema map.

This is a really good movie that will stir all kinds of emotions and outrage as well as sadness. Be prepared for a rollercoaster ride through the lives of this family. Not suitable for young kids in any way do not watch with young kids.

I loved the characters and the story line. The fit bodied men and pretty women were a plus. I also felt the ending was POETIC JUSTICE.
