The Screen Guide

After 10 years away, Moni, a Gay Samoan man returns to Sydney, determined not to miss his sister Hana’s wedding. Enduring the whispers about his absence, Moni tries to ‘Teu le Vā - tend to the space’ he left empty. But the arrival of an unexpected guest throws things into disarray - his dead mother Tina; who wants to know why Moni never came home for her burial. As the memory of a traumatic event resurfaces, they must both confront the truth, and work together to restore the Vā of their family.
