00:02:30Morning
00:02:31Mom died and you never came back
00:02:33But you came back for my wedding?
00:02:35Do you know how fucked that is?
00:02:43What matters is that I'm here to work things out, my baby sis
00:02:45I'm not your baby sis!
00:02:57I know you have a lot to catch up on, but
00:03:00it's only right now that your brother is here
00:03:03maybe he would say the family acknowledgement?
00:03:05Uh, no, I don't think that's a good idea
00:03:08I'm sure it's what your dear mother would want
00:03:12Yeah, they'd be mad
00:03:16Well, hurry up
00:03:18Yeah
00:03:21Who are you?
00:03:23Before you lie in my...

00:05:39M'la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:05:42And so, I dedicate my children today to a pure good life.
00:06:12Moni, Moni, you alright?
00:06:31Alright, that's enough, everyone get out of my face.
00:06:34If anyone else is planning any more surprises, don't.
00:06:37Hannah, can we talk?
00:06:46Babes, we don't want to hear it, okay, just...
00:06:54What do you want to talk about, Moni?
00:06:56Hmm?
00:06:57That you're back after a decade of not so much as a peep?
00:07:01Or is it that mum died, and that wasn't a good enough reason for you to come home?
00:07:07Or call?
00:07:08Or tell us what was happening?
00:07:10Which one?
00:07:11Look, I'm sorry.
00:07:13I'm sick of people's sorries, Moni.
00:07:18It's been three months of sorries.
00:07:20I don't want any more sorries from anyone.
00:07:23Especially yours.
00:07:24Well, I'm here, okay?
00:07:26I'm here to hopefully heal this, the va.
00:07:29Like, you know, like a mum always said.
00:07:31Okay, well, stop by telling me why you left.
00:07:35Exactly.
00:07:36So don't this.
00:07:38Until you have the guts to be honest.
00:07:41You're kind of disappearing, so do that.
00:07:44Because...
00:07:45I don't want you here.
00:07:47Well, I don't care because I'm staying.
00:07:49Fine.
00:07:50Stay.
00:07:51But I don't want any attention brought to your return.
00:07:55As far as everyone is concerned, our va is va-ring.
00:08:00Got it?
00:08:01Got it.
00:08:31What the fuck?
00:08:53Who's this?!
00:08:56Oh shit!
00:08:58Oh, my God, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:09:28Mom!
00:09:44Mom!
00:09:52I died!
00:09:58I died!
00:10:10What the fuck?
00:10:16Fuck!
00:10:28You're not the one that had to clean the vomit from my rug last night, Moni.
00:10:32Do you know how embarrassing it is for me?
00:10:34To have to strip my grown son down and put him to bed because he blacked out?
00:10:38What the fuck?
00:10:40What the fuck?
00:10:42You're not the one that had to clean the vomit from my rug last night, Moni.
00:10:46Do you know how embarrassing it is for me?
00:10:48To have to strip my grown son down and put him to bed because he blacked out?
00:10:52What the fuck?
00:10:54That language might be okay in London, Moni.
00:10:58But not here!
00:11:00Not under my roof.
00:11:01Oh my God.
00:11:02God?
00:11:03I'm losing my mind.
00:11:04Bit late for that, Moni.
00:11:06Your mind went missing the same time you stopped coming to church.
00:11:09Taste this.
00:11:10No!
00:11:12Ah!
00:11:13That's starting to annoy me now!
00:11:16This...
00:11:17This...
00:11:18This is not real.
00:11:19Hey!
00:11:20That's gotta be real.
00:11:21You are not real.
00:11:22That go-go lace is not real!
00:11:23What are you talking about?
00:11:25This is the best part I've made in a long time.
00:11:28Here.
00:11:29Taste it.
00:11:30No!
00:11:31Stop!
00:11:32Taste it!
00:11:33Get away from me!
00:11:34I don't want go-ah!
00:11:35Get away from me!
00:11:36Huh!
00:11:37What the...
00:11:38Stop!
00:11:39Now you don't want to ask!
00:11:41Ah!
00:11:42Ah!
00:11:43Ah!
00:11:44Ah!
00:11:45You wouldn't!
00:11:46Oh yeah!
00:11:47Oh boy!
00:11:48You put that right down!
00:11:50Now, Moni!
00:11:57Your taste is coca-laysa!
00:11:59No, no, no.
00:12:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:12:08Holy fuck!
00:12:09It's real!
00:12:10It's real!
00:12:11It's real!
00:12:12Hey, stay!
00:12:13Moni!
00:12:14Moni!
00:12:15Get back in the house now!
00:12:16Put some clothes on!
00:12:17People will see you!
00:12:18You took them off!
00:12:19This can't be real!
00:12:20Just say that one more time!
00:12:22Shut up!
00:12:23Okay?
00:12:24You just get back to wherever you came from!
00:12:26Oh!
00:12:27Now you really sound like you've been in England.
00:12:29I was doing just fine when you abandoned me!
00:12:31Not even a phone call or a text!
00:12:33And you come back without warning!
00:12:35And you come back clearly on drugs!
00:12:37You're dead!
00:12:38Mom!
00:12:39You're dead to me too, Moni!
00:12:40You know what?
00:12:41I'm gonna slow this!
00:12:42I'm gonna slow this!
00:12:43I'm gonna-
00:12:44Ah!
00:12:45Ah!
00:12:46Holy Mary!
00:12:47Mother of God!
00:12:48Moni!
00:12:49What the fuck?
00:12:54Have you lost your mind?
00:12:55Ah, Mene!
00:12:56Who are you talking to?
00:12:58Maybe it's me!
00:12:59You can't see her!
00:13:00Hannah!
00:13:01See who?
00:13:02Mom!
00:13:03You-
00:13:04You are so messed up, Moni.
00:13:06I swear!
00:13:07I swear!
00:13:08It's not funny, Moni!
00:13:09Mom is lying in a grave.
00:13:11Not that you'd know!
00:13:12And now we have the displeasure of you!
00:13:14Naked!
00:13:15With a statue!
00:13:16Talking to yourself!
00:13:17And clearly on drugs!
00:13:18And not on drugs!
00:13:19Well how do I know?
00:13:20It's been 10 years!
00:13:25I'm here to get Mom's wedding dress.
00:13:28I need to get it altered last minute for the wedding ceremony.
00:13:31You're wearing my dress?
00:13:34Hannah!
00:13:35What?
00:13:36It's really good that you're wearing Mom's dress.
00:13:38Don't do that.
00:13:40You know I almost didn't.
00:13:43Mom asked to be buried in that dress.
00:13:47But after months of shriveling away from being sick,
00:13:50it was too big for her.
00:13:53And Uncle Pika decided she'd wear something else.
00:13:56So yeah, I'm wearing her dress because she couldn't.
00:14:02But don't talk like you know how much that actually means to me.
00:14:08What?
00:14:09Hey!
00:14:10Mom!
00:14:11Hey!
00:14:12Mom!
00:14:13Oh my God!
00:14:14It's so hard!
00:14:15How long?
00:14:16Oh my God!
00:14:17It's so hard!
00:14:19How long?
00:14:20Oh my God!
00:14:21It's so hard!
00:14:22How long?
00:14:24How long?
00:14:25Three months.
00:14:26How is this possible?
00:14:27Am I a ghost?
00:14:28Am I equal?
00:14:29Am I equal?
00:14:30If I'm dead, what am I doing back?
00:14:31What am I doing back?
00:14:32How did I die?
00:14:33How did I die?
00:14:34How did it happen?
00:14:36How did it happen?
00:14:41How long?
00:14:47Three months
00:14:49How is this possible?
00:14:52Am I a ghost? I equal? If I'm dead, what am I doing back? How did I die?
00:15:01How did it happen?
00:15:03Why? You weren't even here, were you? My baby girl was here by herself.
00:15:15Hannah looked straight through me. She didn't even feel me.
00:15:23And here you are, with nothing to say for yourself.
00:15:27I didn't expect you to come back.
00:15:29Hannah obviously came back because of you. That's why you're the only one that can see me.
00:15:37The prodigal son returns.
00:15:40What?
00:15:41Like in the Bible. To seek forgiveness.
00:15:47You owe me an apology.
00:15:49No. No. No.
00:15:53I'm not here to talk to my dead mum, okay? I don't have time for that.
00:15:56You better get moving with that sorry.
00:15:58I came back for Hannah, okay? Not this, whatever this is.
00:16:02Yep.
00:16:03So you've always been good at that.
00:16:06Whatever.
00:16:07You know what, Jimmy?
00:16:08No. No.
00:16:12You...
00:16:13Poor Tim.
00:16:21So you trained us, we eat no puns.
00:16:22Piss off!
00:16:30Piss off! That's where you came from!
00:16:34Racist much?
00:16:37Sorry, I thought you were someone else.
00:16:38Who?
00:16:40Liv.
00:16:40Sorry.
00:16:42Oh, my gosh.
00:16:45What's going on? What time is it?
00:16:47It's 8am, Moni.
00:16:48Uncle Pika and the family are all coming here for the family for the wedding.
00:16:52What, here?
00:16:53They couldn't go to the church hall or something?
00:16:55Uh, you're in no position to be making calls on this house.
00:16:58Move that table.
00:17:03There.
00:17:06Besides, Uncle Pika wanted it here.
00:17:10I told him you were staying here, so it'll be good to include you in things, blah, blah, blah.
00:17:15Uncle Pika?
00:17:16Yes, Uncle Pika.
00:17:18Have you done drugs this morning?
00:17:19Hannah, I don't do drugs.
00:17:21Anyways, I don't know why Uncle Pika would care after all this time, but he does.
00:17:24So, if you're going to be here, I'm going to need your clothes to stay on if you can manage that.
00:17:29And, don't embarrass me with all that social hallucination shit.
00:17:32Okay, okay.
00:17:34Well, and then maybe we can have a chat later?
00:17:36Mmm.
00:17:37Oh, fuck.
00:17:38Oh, fuck.
00:17:39Anything to say to me?
00:17:40No!
00:17:41Or in that case.
00:17:42What?
00:17:43No, no, no, no.
00:17:44You're not going to apologize to me.
00:17:45What?
00:17:46Marnie, who was it?
00:17:47Uh, no one.
00:17:48Uncle Pika and them are coming.
00:17:49This is no other place for you.
00:17:50You're just going to embarrass Hannah.
00:17:51Ruth!
00:17:52Oh, shit.
00:17:53Go be here, Marty!
00:17:54We've got to go.
00:17:55No, no, no.
00:17:56Come on, let's go.
00:17:57Marty!
00:17:58I'm just going to a job interview.
00:18:00Oi.
00:18:01You're staying?
00:18:02N-yeah.
00:18:03No.
00:18:04No, no, no, no.
00:18:05We've got to go.
00:18:06No, no, no, no.
00:18:07Come on, let's go.
00:18:08No, no, no, no.
00:18:09Come on, let's go.
00:18:10Marty!
00:18:11Hello.
00:18:12I'm just going to a, a job interview.
00:18:16Oi.
00:18:17You're staying?
00:18:18Yeah.
00:18:19Your first job is here with your family for your sister's big day.
00:18:22Mm-mm-mm-mm.
00:18:23Keep it moving, my boy.
00:18:24Just got you back.
00:18:25I mean, sir, I'm sure your mother would say the same thing.
00:18:29the same thing. I definitely wouldn't. I have a feeling she wouldn't. Don't be
00:18:34silly. This is your home. Moni, have you forgotten how ruthless someone people are
00:18:38at these scenes? Anan doesn't need you to humiliate her!
00:18:46Yeah, whaamalo atu le tātou a inga mo lē nei whailao inga. Eta wā nei mea mo ta ngata,
00:19:01ai maise ale atanu. A wā le lē tātou a whaamoe moi, ia le awhiwhine ia hana e le whaayunga
00:19:11o lē nei wha yasu. We all know the Samoan proverb. Tau si le wha. Care for the spaces
00:19:22between us. As family, when we do this, everything aligns in the world. And as leader of this family,
00:19:34it is my job to assure that we do this. Now that's a Samoan leader, Moni.
00:19:41And what better place to do this than in the house of my late brother Tomasi and my sister
00:19:49Tina. And with the return of the prodigal son, Moni.
00:19:58Put your hand down. Yeah, welcome home, Moni. You may not have been here for your mother,
00:20:11but you have returned for your sister. Te una wā. Attend to your spaces. Moni, is there
00:20:21anything you'd like for us to do? You're the man of the house. We can do whatever you want.
00:20:33Go and take your place.
00:20:43Take your place.
00:20:44You need this, sir. Moni, help the girls.
00:21:05Moni's been gone for a long time. He's only just remembering his role in our family.
00:21:12Moni's been gone for a long time. He's only just remembering his role in our family.
00:21:18But Moni, when you were a young boy, people turned a blind eye while you were learning your
00:21:33place. But you are a man now. There are things you can and cannot do.
00:21:54I told you you should have left. Samuans are horrible people when you forget your place.
00:22:11Why? You just let them humiliate me. You did that yourself. As you can see, the family
00:22:16goes on without you. If you didn't leave, you would know all this. I left because you
00:22:21were already going on without me.
00:22:28Gosh. Uso! Hi, Brendan. What do you want?
00:22:34Your sister taught me how to wrap a lava lava the boy way. That's great. That's really great, Brendan.
00:22:40You want me to teach you how to do it? What? Oh, what?
00:22:44What's up? All right. Here you go. Yep.
00:22:48Mm-hmm.
00:22:53Wrap. And tuck.
00:22:56Okay, thanks. How cool is that?
00:22:58Yeah. See?
00:23:04That's not going anywhere. That's tight earth.

00:28:40i actually want to know where i went wrong
00:28:43hey guys i just want to say what happened at the funeral yesterday was crazy it was giving like
00:28:59sione's wedding at some oxford street type shit you know it was wild samuans man we need a wake-up call
00:29:08acting as if y'all just burst out of nowhere y'all have always been here we've always come in
00:29:15different flavors it's why we're tasty
00:29:18you are one of the messiest town hall girls in the world show some form girl
00:29:28but i love the boys
00:29:30you're good
00:29:39yeah yeah i'm assuming by the way you and hannah embraced one another with deep love and
00:29:47affection that yesterday wasn't any good that is an understatement so you're telling me your mom
00:29:53never knew you know she's probably too busy worried about what everyone else thinks to notice
00:29:59you know i just yeah i do
00:30:04it's a shame that you couldn't tell her before she left
00:30:08i actually think she would have welcomed you with open arms
00:30:11yeah and then fasciokied me back into line
00:30:15i don't think so you know how mothers see more than we think
00:30:18samuans like you and me
00:30:22we live in the in between between all these worlds never quite fitting in
00:30:28never quite good enough for any of them and so we pretend
00:30:33and we push through hoping that we make it through life unscathed
00:30:38at least we're accepted and for a while
00:30:40the most important thing is in your name
00:30:45money
00:30:47truth
00:30:49and whether your mom knew it or not she names you after the very thing you're running away from
00:30:55how do you do it
00:30:59i like to think that god sends samuel and kids like us

00:35:12It's sad to think after all the greatness of our ancestors to all their voyages and
00:35:20adventures and we end up here, Western Sydney.
00:35:29They left us a map and it arrives every evening to remind us, to guide us, but we're too busy
00:35:41looking everywhere but up.
00:35:46Maybe if I looked up more, maybe I would have seen the things right in front of me and been
00:35:54there for you when you needed me most.
00:35:58I understand now that you're different and that's why you went away.
00:36:03It's not why I went away.
00:36:05What do you mean?
00:36:10I didn't leave because I'm gay, Mum.
00:36:13Yeah, being gay is hard.
00:36:15It's fucking hard.
00:36:16Being careful about how I walk, how I talk, so that nobody notices anything.
00:36:22That fucks with you.
00:36:23I just don't get it.
00:36:27Moni, I don't understand.

00:44:11Let's go.
00:44:29Sully, I thought that was you.
00:44:31Hey, Uncle.
00:44:33I just finished footy.
00:44:34What's going on?
00:44:35I'll take you home.
00:44:37It's alright.
00:44:38I'm just gonna walk and listen to this.
00:44:39Oh, big boy, eh?
00:44:42Jump in.
00:44:43Mum will be angry if she knew I saw you walking at night
00:44:45and didn't pick you up.
00:44:47You know how your mum is.
00:44:50Honestly, I'm good, Uncle.
00:44:53It's not that far.
00:44:54Hey.
00:44:55Who do you think paid for that new toy of yours?
00:44:59I'll take you home.
00:45:01Come on.
00:45:09How's footy going?
00:45:24It's good.
00:45:25It's good.
00:45:26I'm not the best, but I'm getting better.
00:45:30I'm getting better.
00:45:31Your dad would be proud of you.
00:45:34He was a monster on the footy field back in Samoa.
00:45:38Your mum didn't tell you?
00:45:44Mum doesn't tell us much about him.
00:45:47He was good, that brother of mine.
00:45:50He could sidestep any boy in any corner of Samoa.
00:45:54What?
00:45:55Your boys would just slide off those gullile thighs of his.
00:46:02Samoan thighs score tries.
00:46:04So don't waste those jeans, will you?
00:46:23We'd better get home.
00:46:25I don't know, it's probably burning your house down.
00:46:34Hannah's probably asleep.
00:46:58She's a good girl.
00:46:59Oh, thank you for the right, Uncle Elna.
00:47:06Thank you for this.
00:47:19What are you doing?
00:47:25We can do whatever you want to do.
00:47:27Sunga, have you brushed your teeth?
00:47:32Mum, I'm waiting to scare money.
00:47:34See, go be here.
00:47:37Mum, I'm waiting to scare money.
00:47:39See, go be here.
00:47:40I'm waiting to go be here.
00:47:41I've been making sure to shut the phone out of bed,
00:47:42I'm waiting to scare money.
00:47:44I'm waiting to leave her to get in my bed.
00:47:45Leave her to bed.
00:47:47Come on, we're talking to you.
00:47:48You can break your teeth.
00:47:49I want you to be here.
00:47:50I don't know what I'm gonna do.
00:47:51I'm waiting to touch the phone out of bed.
00:47:53Can you open yourself up?
00:47:55You'll catch up, you'll catch up.
00:47:57You can be here to help them?
00:47:59Get up, you're ready to be here.
00:48:01You'll have to get you down here to help us.
00:48:03I'll be here to help you find.

00:48:06I don't know.
00:48:36Oh, my God.
00:49:06That was footy training.
00:49:36I'm sorry, baby.
00:50:02Not on my watch, Moni.
00:50:03Moni, I love you, okay?
00:50:05Before all the gossiping you do, here's an opportunity to do something for you.
00:50:14Please, let me fix things for you.
00:50:17Okay.

00:50:36Money, look at him.
00:50:39You take it from here.
00:50:42I'll take it from here.
00:50:44This is not what we rehearsed, Money.
00:50:49Money?
00:50:50Let go of me.
00:50:51Now.
00:50:58Just leave me alone.
00:50:59Money, listen, please.
00:51:01What?
00:51:02I need you to hear me out.
00:51:04I need you to listen.
00:51:07I'm sorry, son.
00:51:10I knew that you needed me.
00:51:13And I got scared.
00:51:16Scared if I believed it.
00:51:19Our lives would have been harder.
00:51:20Scared people would talk.
00:51:26Scared of the shame.
00:51:29But mostly scared that I failed you.
00:51:33I'm the one that needs forgiveness.
00:51:35I'm sorry.
00:51:38I think you're down on your knees.
00:51:40You're the way I get out.
00:51:42Put the bullets on.
00:51:44Get up.
00:51:44Get up.
00:51:44Get up.
00:52:14Let's pray.
00:52:44Let's pray.
00:53:14Let's pray.
00:53:44Thank you everyone for being with us here on this special day and even though we may
00:53:55not be models slash doctors in Paris, you're everything that I need.
00:54:02I love you.
00:54:05I'd like to invite Uncle Pika up to say a few words on behalf of my family.
00:54:15It's an honour to be chosen to be the one to speak on behalf of Hannah and her family.
00:54:32I'm Pika and the Makai of the Misa family.
00:54:37I'd also like to walk.
00:54:39Are you really just going to sit there?
00:54:44How long are you going to sit there?
00:54:45What are you going to do?
00:54:46Hi, everyone.
00:54:54Hi, everyone.
00:54:56My law lover, Le Soy For...
00:54:58Hi, everyone.
00:55:01Um, I'm Moni.
00:55:06I'm Hannah's brother.
00:55:08What's he doing?
00:55:09I'm not the chief of the family.
00:55:12I'm not even really worthy enough to call myself her brother.
00:55:16Here I am, uh, hijacking a speech that nobody expected me to be able to do.
00:55:23I don't...
00:55:24I don't blame them.
00:55:28I've...
00:55:29I've been pretty shit.
00:55:31So...
00:55:32The other day, uh, a wise woman reminded me about my name.
00:55:39Moni.
00:55:41Truth.
00:55:42Without even realising it, our late mother Tina, she named me after the very thing that
00:55:49I've spent my whole adult life trying to find, but also run from.
00:55:56This week, I remember why that truth is so important.
00:56:01As Samhans, we all know the proverb.
00:56:06Keu lewa.
00:56:09Requires us to be honest.
00:56:12To live a life of truth.
00:56:23And I have so much more truth to share with you, my baby sis.
00:56:28I wish that for you both.
00:56:32A life where you can see each other for who you truly are.
00:56:35With all the joy,
00:56:37and the shame,
00:56:38and the ugly, and the fun.
00:56:40And when things get tough,
00:56:43I hope you love even harder.
00:56:47I hope you never give up on each other.
00:56:50And I pray that
00:56:50you never give up on the life that you deserve together.
00:56:55And more than anything,
00:56:57I hope that you never give up on yourself.
00:56:59I wish that for everyone in this room.
00:57:17Truth.
00:57:17Just like I'm going to do studying right now.
00:57:23That's enough!
00:57:26You're shameful, Moni.
00:57:28You're an embarrassment to our family,
00:57:30and you're a liar.
00:57:30I see you, Uncle.
00:57:54Uncle, you should go.
00:58:15Alright.
00:58:15All right, uh-huh. I will a pissy. I will a pissy
00:58:20Now let's have the bride's first dance
00:58:24Please help me welcome you to the floor
00:58:26I
00:58:45Wish I could see us right now
00:58:51Somewhere out there I think she can
00:58:56I
00:58:58Yeah
00:59:00When I'm crying
00:59:19I forgive you, Mom
00:59:27Hey

00:59:38We'll be okay
00:59:51We'll be alone longer, Mom

01:00:11Congrats
01:00:12Or so
01:00:17Okay
01:00:19Can you either ask me anything or ask it now?
01:00:21Actually, it's something Hannah says to me all the time
01:00:24What's that?
01:00:25I
01:00:26I
