Tama Tū (2004)

Directed by Taika Waititi

Short | War

Overview

Six Māori Battalion soldiers camped in Italian ruins wait for night to fall. In the silence, the bros-in-arms distract themselves with jokes. A tohu (sign) brings them back to reality, and they gather to say a karakia before returning to the fray. Director Taika Waititi describes the soldiers as young men with “a special bond, strengthened by their character, their culture and each other.

Viewing Notes

A nice little short about a small group of soldiers hunkered down in an abandoned house, entertaining themselves quietly, while on watch.
