In Samoan-born director Sima Urale's first feature, two mothers from two very different Aotearoa cultures must find the courage to confront the secrets of the past in order to set their sons free. Hard-working Lorna runs an old-fashioned cake shop in Otahuhu and lives with her unemployed son Barry. For Anita, the star of an Indian TV cooking show, everything comes to a head when her son Michael decides to meet her estranged sister Tara, who runs a no-frills curry house. Debuted in the Discovery Section, Toronto Film Festival, 2008.
