Good Hands - Lima Lelei - First Episode

Olivia (Nikki Si'ulepa) and Leilua (Fiona Truelove) are making all the right moves on the netball court, but off court, family pressures are mounting. Good Hands - Lima Lelei was nominated for Best Drama at the 2005 NZ Screen Awards, while Truelove was a nominee for Best Supporting Actress. In this episode, best mates Olivia and Leilua join in a development squad for a netball franchise, which could mean a pathway to the Silver Ferns. Life at home in South Auckland is complicated for both of them — Olivia's parents expect her to fulfil religious duties, and Leilua struggles to be heard by her husband as they raise their kids.

That flashy stuff isn't going to cut it at this level.
