The story follows Samoan teacher Mareta Percival (played by Anapela Polataivao), who’s navigating life after the tragic death of her daughter in the Christchurch earthquakes.
Immediately, you get a feel for Mareta's relationship with her daughter. In one scene, Mareta helps her daughter warm up her singing voice over the phone, not long before her passing.
Mareta reluctantly steps into a relief teacher role at an elite private school, where she’s introduced to a group of students who could really use some guidance, love, and a bit of inspiration.
She finds herself lighting a spark in these kids, pushing them to compete in the Big Sing choir competition - chucking in a few laughs for us along the way.
