A great positive film about a “little” man with a “big” bright soul.
Enjoyed acting. Undeservedly overlooked in our country.
The action takes place in a small settlement of modern Maori. The main character suffers from a mental illness "bipolar disorder". He spent a lot of time in the hospital, where chess was his favorite pastime. And then he comes back from the hospital to the town, where young people are gangs and drunk.
Based on real events. There was a real-life Maori New Zealander, Genesis Potini, whose life story formed the basis of the film. -> clck.ru/at5W7
It seems that this film is a cry of the soul of its creators, who “do not care.” Perhaps that is why this contrast in the image of the negative. There are obscene vocabulary, but this is only an artistic tool that emphasizes the state of the soul (darkness) of some characters. After all, the film is about this: about the exit from the spiritual “darkness”, about the victory of the spirit over infirmity.
