Based on a true story, Maka is a Tongan superfan and will do anything to get tickets to the Tonga vs France Rugby World Cup game – even if it means promising the organisers that he can deliver a brass band for the pre-match show.
One problem though – the band doesn’t exist and Maka has just four weeks to create one.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Will make you laugh and inspire you at the same time. - Subculture Entertainment

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Cast: Louane Emera, Michel Blanc.
Marie is a young woman who juggles a range of odd jobs to support herself and her father. Despite the precariousness of her income, Marie maintains an positive outlook on life.
But one night, her shift at a café has a string of bad events and she's fired. On top of that, Marie gets fined after a complaint is filed.
In court, Marie begs the judge to waive the fine due to her circumstances. But the Judge refuses to believe her “I’m poor, it’s too late for me” excuse.
Instead, he offers Marie a job as his driver to help her get back on track. It's a chance of a fresh start for Marie and, as she and the judge begin to spend time together and share their stories, she realises there are things a rich and privileged judge can learn about life too.
"A heart-warming film about realising your full potential." - MM reviews
