After her daughter is killed in the Christchurch earthquake, a music teacher of Samoan descent struggles to find meaning in her life. When she starts teaching at an elite school, she encounters a group of students who find it difficult to fit in. Believing in the unifying power of music, she forms a choir that blends Samoan musical tradition with Western choral singing. The rehearsal and performance process becomes a journey of healing, self-discovery, and creating a new community, for both the students and the teacher.
An emotional and inspiring drama that combines captivating music, rich Samoan culture, and impressive choir performances. This is a film about the power of singing to connect people, bridge gaps, and give hope.
