Synopsis
Coming soon to Luna Leederville, Luna outdoor, Luna on SX & The Windsor.
Award-winning writer/director Miki Magasiva (The Panthers, We Are Still Here) makes his feature debut with Tinā (Samoan for "mother"). Samoan music teacher Mareta (Anapela Polataivao) is plunged into grief after losing her daughter in the Christchurch quakes. She reluctantly takes on the role of substitute teacher at an elite, wealthy 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, bringing them together while unexpectedly rediscovering her passion for being a teacher and mother. Tinā was chosen to open the 2024 Hawai’i International Film Festival.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Miki Magasiva's haunting and heart-warming debut feature is a simply stunning, crowd-pleasing delight.
A familiar songbook with a fresh voice... think of it as an old standard being reworked into a powerful and unexpected interpretation.
