Mareta is lost in a deep despair after her teenage daughter, Lanita is killed in the Christchurch earthquakes. To get herself back into the world again and get some focus, she takes a job as a substitute teacher at an elite private school.
But on her first day, Mareta is surprised to find so many of the students crying out for guidance, inspiration and love.
Wanting to empower her young students, Mareta utilises her Samoan culture to start a choir and, as she brings them together as a group, Mareta rediscovers her passion for both teaching and life.
"Tina is a film for the whole family and one just like mother used to make." - RNZ
