TINĀ  

Light-Hearted Feature Length Drama a New Zealand Samoan Film.     


Logline:  A penniless Samoan mother, retired from teaching after the death of her children, is forced to take a substitute role in a wealthy private school.   


Synopsis:  “Tinā” – is an inspiring drama, a light-hearted rhythmic tear-jerker, that follows the story of Samoan teacher Mareta Percival. Struggling after the death of her girls in the Christchurch earthquakes, Mareta must reluctantly take on a role as substitute teacher at an elite private school and is surprised to find children crying out for guidance, inspiration, and love.   


Using the symphony of her culture to empower her students, she forms a choir to bring them together, and at the same unexpectedly rediscovers her passion for being a teacher and mother again. Her students are challenged to step out of their privileged comfort-zone, embrace their “freshness”, if they’re to make the “The Big Sing”, an all-school choir competition.
