Tania thinks she is Maori. She works the graveyard shift at a petrol station to save money to take her brother Pi to 'Surfers Paradise'. When Pi goes away to pick kiwifruit, Tania is left by herself to plan for their trip. When Dean, the regional manager, arrives and questions Tania's culture and who her family is, she starts to piece together the truth. She then realises she must bring her brother home. But one night a cheeky little bird ruins everything and Tania pays the ultimate price for being a hero. First class photography, score and above average acting, but my main complaint is the lack of English subtitles, as I had some difficulty with the dialogue.

Censor Rating: R15 - Review Rating: B-
