The Strength of Water

Living on a ramshackle chicken farm with their parents and various siblings, 10-year-old twins Kimi (Hato Paparoa) and Melody (Melanie Mayall-Nahi) are practical dreamers. They deliver eggs with a handcart, crossing the landscape with ease, but imagine a world of magic nestling around them. When they hear noises in an abandoned house they decide to confront the ghost, only to find Tai (Isaac Barber), an itinerant young man who has come to the district to see the house his grandfather lived and died in.
