The Strength of Water

The Strength of Water (2009)
In a small settlement in Hokianga, New Zealand we follow ten year old twins, Kimi and his sister Melody, who help out with the family chicken business and spend time mucking around.

Tai, a young drifter, arrives in the settlement and not long after there is a terrible accident. The impact on the family is deep, and each deals with the loss in their own way.

4/5 - a simple story that is told with power by a mainly untrained cast, especially the children.
