It's a film about a family in New Zealand who live an incredible and simple life. Two quietly intelligent and articulate parents Peter and Colleen Karena , six incredible children, lots of horses, an amazing landscape.

Thanks for sharing, I am keen to watch this one.
I cannot wait to see this!
Have seen it and will definitely watch it again. Powerful viewing (and so many stunning scenes that stayed with me) x
We watched it too and we know his step brother and they got a divorce soon after the movie finished shooting. It's sad because it all seemed so idyllic
On my to watch list! You should check out 'blackfish' - good viewing also.
Warrick and I watched this on sunday night. He is a new zealander and grew up in a small country town in NZ. It was amazing, and awesome, and I want to live like that. Simplicity if confidence x
I loved it. He is a fighter for his family and maintains a wonderful family regardless of what life throws at him. Their kids are living a dream life, full of spontaneity, lots of time outdoors and they seem very imaginative and happy. What more could you want?
