Description

[Machine Translation] The soul-stirring pulse of the Maori. The first disc release of this electrifying New Zealand film that has swept film festivals around the world. It's a blast! Inspirational! Brilliant! Powerful! Winner of the 1994 Anicaflash Award at the Venice International Film Festival, New Zealand Film and Television Awards 1994, Best Actress Award at the San Diego International Film Festival 1994, Audience Award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 1995, and Jury Prize at Fantasporto 1995. Lee Tamahori's debut film is the stunning debut feature of the director Lee Tamahori, who worked as an assistant director on "Merry Christmas on the Battlefield" and was chosen to direct "007: Die Another Day" in 2002. The film is a profound drama filled with sadness and anger that became a sensation at film festivals around the world, winning a total of 22 awards and becoming a New Zealand national treasure. At the time of the film's release, the Maori, an indigenous people of Polynesian descent, made up about 13% of New Zealand's population, and the Maori living in urban slums were discriminated against in various ways, with many unemployed and often involved in crime. This film, which depicts the real situation of the Maori in the slums, a taboo subject in New Zealand, had a tremendous impact and was a blockbuster hit in New Zealand, surpassing even the Hollywood blockbusters. --It has been 18 years since Jake and Beth were married, but why did Beth find him so attractive and why does she still find him so hard to resist? Jake is a handsome, muscular man who exudes explosive sexual energy; even after five children, he can still arouse her at first sight. But now Jake spends most of his time in the pub, proving his manhood with his fists. And if Beth dares to question or challenge him, the same violence comes back to her. But she believes that despite her husband's violence, she still loves him deeply. Therefore, she struggles to keep her family united despite the violence. One of her sons joins a gang; the next son is taken in by social services. Her beautiful teenage daughter, Grace, remains untouched. She is a gifted writer and thinker, and embodies Grace's own hope for a better future. But she is vulnerable and in terrible danger that no one can foresee. What happens to her changes her family forever. Beth is finally forced to make a choice.
