History
Le patriarche - Une saga maorie
6.6
Cette saga familiale se déroule dans les années 60 sur la côte est de la Nouvelle-Zélande, dans une communauté de tondeurs de moutons Māori. Deux familles, les Mahana et les Poata, sont des rivales de longue date. A la tête des Mahana règne le grand-père, patriarche tyrannique à cheval sur les traditions, prompt à promettre la colère divine à ceux qui se rendent coupables de fautes mineures comme l’oisiveté, l’incapacité à débiter le bois, l’absence de sobriété sur le plan vestimentaire, ou encore les cheveux longs chez les garçons. Lorsque son petit-fils Simeon défie son autorité, il s’avère que la colère divine est peu de choses comparée aux foudres de Grand-père Mahana : à l’occasion d’une dispute qui dégénère, il bannit Simeon et sa famille. Quand Simeon révèle les véritables causes de la querelle familiale, il met en péril non seulement son avenir, mais aussi la cohésion de toute la communauté.

Venus and Mars

Aug 23, 2015
When an attack on a Palmerston North fraud detective made headlines in October 1996, the New Zealand public followed the media reports with fascination. They read like a plot of a Hollywood film or detective novel. Poison pen letters, satanic worship, a police hate crime, and a mysterious and violent pyromaniac. But little did the public know that as the truth emerged, the story was going to get far more bizarre, and the police would turn the focus of their investigation on one of their own.
