A vibrant, musically-driven coming-of-age adventure that blends Polynesian mythology with themes of self-discovery and ancestral connection, wrapped in warmth and visual splendor.

In Ancient Polynesia, when a terrible curse incurred by Maui reaches an impetuous Chieftain's daughter's island, she answers the Ocean's call to seek out the demigod to set things right.
