In 1954 New Zealand, Nellie and Daisy attempt to escape an institution for delinquent girls, but they are caught and it triggers a relocation to a facility on a remote island. The duo become a trio as well-to-do Lou joins them, and life on the island takes shape under the command of the devout Matron.


It’s hard to reform girls who don’t believe they need reforming. Nellie and Daisy plot rebellion, but unexpectedly find themselves at odds with Lou, who is afraid to break the rules.


Filmed on Ōtamahua Island in the South Island and tackling some dark parts of our history this debut for director Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu (Waru) has all the makings of an instant coming-of-age classic.
