EMA I‘U-FLOWER OF LIFE

In a not-too-distant future, Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa is the last inhabitable place on Earth following climate catastrophe. A mysterious and powerful agent of change (Ema I’u) escapes a forgotten facility to reclaim and reconnect with her home. Seeking to recover an ancient artefact from remaining world leaders, she unlocks her ancestral knowledge to activate a hidden code, the Flower of Life, which triggers a new era of balance and harmony.
