Yet another movie I would have never watched on my own if it wasn't for this class. The film is about a Maori family living in New Zealand, but in particular the relationship between the grand daughter and grandfather. The granddaughter (Paikea) has only one wish, which is for her grandfather to love her. Her grandfather however, wanted Paikea to be born a boy and blames her for her twin brothers' death at birth. The Maori people have a deep bond and appreciation for whales and with the help of the whales, Paikea is able to gain her grandfather's love.
