HO’I
Stuck in an unhealthy relationship away from home, a young Native Hawaiian girl navigates the Hawaiian way of mending relationships in her current situation. Through glimpses of tense moments, she is reminded of her traditional Hawaiian values as she begins to realize her worth, the love she deserves, and the escape from her current way of life by returning to the backbone of her culture and home.
