"Maori Boys"

Maori, a movie describing this nation is still rare!
The film describes a Maori boy in a remote village in Waihau Bay on the east coast of New Zealand who takes care of his younger siblings during his grandmother’s journey. Fortunately, his father, who has been travelling, returns with his accomplices!
Why is it an accomplice? Because they are just small gangsters in the city, they came back this time mainly because they wanted to dig out the thousands of yuan in cash that they had stolen from the post office (and therefore went to jail).
Later, the money was eaten by the sheep, and marijuana caused big trouble. The accomplices whizzed and withdrew, and the family finally got together!
It is such a father (the director of the film) who fails everywhere and is extremely unsatisfactory. He is still imagined by the two children as tall, mighty and bold!
In the eyes of children, the sky can always be so blue!

Maori, the aboriginal people of New Zealand. In Maori, the word actually means "normal" or "ordinary person", because Europeans at that time asked them what their ethnicity should be called?
They went back to the research and said that they were normal people-they regarded foreigners as abnormal or abnormal people (Pakeha). Many archaeologists and historians believe that they originated from the Cook Islands and Polynesia. Scientists have even discovered that the Maori and Taiwan aborigines (high mountains) have DNA very close to each other, and they are also similar in language and culture.
The current population is nearly 390,000. By the way, the kids in the film also play hopscotch!

This nation, as a weak and small group, has actually been marginalized a long time ago!
Therefore, in the film, the 11-year-old boy also started to learn to drink and smoke marijuana. He fell into the water on the bridge and needed help from the mentally handicapped to escape!

The local scenery is pleasing to the eye, and those who have lived here for a long time-there is no scenery!
