Description [The directors] have characterised Messina as a small 1950s rural community in the South Island backblocks. Wealthy landowner Don Pedro (Shannon Small), No 8 and captain of the Messina Rams, has led his team to victory at the provincial champs. The marquee, erected on the home ground rugby field, is now the venue for the after-match celebrations where romance, cynicism, deception born of bitterness, near tragedy and a mercifully happy resolution run their inevitable course.
