An elder Maori, Hamo, returns home to pay her respects to her people. When she arrives, the house is empty. She calls on the house to release the spirits of those who passed on, then carries those spirits to her ancestral river. She is overwhelmed with memories of the past, continues the journey to the top of her tribe’s sacred mountain and releases the spirits into the warmth of the rising sun.
