A short narrative film following the curious journey of young Luna as she reflects on her ancestors arriving in New Zealand. This film was inspired by a true story from a conversation with a stranger at The Shack, in regards to his family pilgrimage from Scotland. The rolling hills of the Waikato sets the scene as this young girl dreams

into what it may have been like to arrive in New Zealand many years ago...
