About
A once famous singing star (Rena Owen) returns to Aotearoa, in need of reinvention. Joining her friend Stephen (Simon Prast from Gloss), she is reenergised after meeting Stephen's gifted drifter of a lover (Dean O'Gorman) and two loved up musicians (Sophia Hawthorne and Nancy Brunning). Invited to a slew of North American festivals — including Sundance and Toronto — Garth Maxwell's song-lashed tale of the young and messed up won praise in North America for its characters, images and "energetic direction" (The Hollywood Reporter). Angus McNaughton's eclectic soundtrack includes some singing by Hawthorne.
