HULI

Sol booked a one-way ticket from Buffalo, New York to Hawaiʻi to start a new life. He’s a hyper-driven escapist - training as a boxer, living out of his car, and leading with visions of the ''American dream'' of opulent wealth. While well intended, he lacks balance, restraint, and roots. When a hot-shot boxing manager comes to Honolulu to scout his next star, Sol thinks it’s his chance to prove himself. He trains with his friend, Elijah. To win, he needs to face what’s been holding him back: a disconnection to his roots, and unprocessed intergenerational trauma. Sol’s friendship with Elijah may lead him toward an awakening of deeper connection with his ancestors…and with himself.
