Synopsis (From Flyer):

Funny and poignant, Niu Sila is about a friendship spanning over thirty years, two cultures and one neighbourhood. Six-year-old Ioane Tafioka - fresh off the boat from the Pacific - moves in next door to six-year-old Peter Burton. They begin an unlikely friendship that will change their lives.

I think Paul Semei-Barton’s Review in the New Zealand Herald was pretty spot on!
