Tinā may follow a familiar formula, but it uses that structure to explore grief, identity, and resilience through a uniquely Samoan lens. After losing her daughter in the Christchurch earthquake, Mareta (Anapela Polataivao) takes a job at an elite school and ends up mentoring a choir of privileged students. It’s heartfelt without feeling forced, and Polataivao’s endearing performance anchors the emotional arc. There’s a good chance you’ll be wiping away a tear by the final song.
