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
