An excellent drama about a guy coming home to New Zealand after 15 years. He stirs up the past that may or may not have better been left burried. The consequences are dire to all involved. Sensual, well told and, even if the story gets confusing at one point, it is still a strong and dramatic resolution in the end. Excellent acting throughout.
