Mata, Missy and Makareta. Three cousins. Three lives. Separate, yet bound together forever. Orphaned Mata believes she has no whānau and lives out her lonely childhood in fear and bewilderment. Back home on the land, educated Makareta flees an arranged marriage to study law and begin the search for her missing cousin. She leaves behind cheeky yet dutiful Missy who takes on her role of kaitiaki (guardian) of the land. As the years pass and land surveyors begin to encroach, their promise to bring their stolen cousin home seems more unlikely than ever, until a chance encounter changes everything.


Movie – FROM THE VINE

Graham Tuckett Stuff 3.5/5 Stars “Pantoliano’s spiky and layered performance as Marco basically saves this film from itself, with the actor cashing in a few decades worth of roles as a coward and a villain, to flesh the character out into something far more interesting than the self-satisfied and smug caricature that a more obvious leading-man would have located.”

Emmy-winner Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos) plays a man who, after an ethical crisis, returns from Toronto to his hometown in rural Italy. There, he finds a higher purpose: reviving his grandfather’s old vineyard.
