Arriving Tuesday

Film (Excerpts) – 1986

PG
Parental Guidance

The first dramatic feature from versatile director Richard Riddiford explores the restless homecoming of a Kiwi from her OE. Monica (Judy McIntosh, from Ngāti) returns from Europe to sculptor Nick (actor/nature presenter Peter Hayden), who has stayed behind in Waiuku. Monica goads him into a road trip north, searching for connection to him and home. At a Dargaville pub they meet Riki (Rawiri Paratene), a charismatic poet who has left the city to find his Ngāpuhi roots. Monica is intrigued by Riki's bond to his people and the land, which widens a rift between her and Nick. Caution: this excerpt contains bathtub sax. 

Will you share bank accounts and changing of nappies should the need arise, not worry too much about pot bellies and menopause and who buys the old Grecian 2000 when the old hair starts turning grey?
– Riki (Rawiri Paratene) officiates at an impromptu wedding
