Description An exploration of a language rift within a Whānau as they gather for the tangi of a relative who was a Maori language teacher. Te More has died suddenly and his pupils at the mare insist on speaking only te reo, making it difficult for members of the family who cannot. It seems that Te More has spent his life teaching Maori to strangers, but neglected his own family.
