Description Samoan for 'brother', Uso dramatises the brotherhood of first generation Pasifika males in South Auckland. This 'gang of seven' is on the cusp of adulthood and manhood, finishing high school, facing adult responsibilities – or not – and reverting to juvenile status games and playfulness as a defence mechanism, which makes for comedy with an edge of threat. They also sing in a choir.
