Description A boy welcomes us into his world: the fictitious beachside community of Te Parenga, a golden territory in the land of milk and honey. Life here is idyllic and simple, filled with sun-drenched days by the sea. But as time goes on, the encroaching reality of the outside world starts to seep in. The Queen Street riots ignite whispers of unrest and Boy watches from the sidelines as the local policeman tries to keep the peace. Christmas comes and goes and life feels like it’s flatlining until he stumbles across local eccentric, Firpo.
