"PINAY unravels a Filipino migrant family's story of how their foundation cracks, exposing the family’s personal politics disheveled and formed by seismic chaos of cultural and traditional differences as their youngest, Alex, settles into her Kiwi identity in Aotearoa. Alex and her Mama embody the forces of Mt Pinatubo's eruption in1991 and Christchurch's earthquakes in 2010 through romance and heartache only for their actions to jeopardize her family's dynamics. The earth breaks, foundations fracture, roots wither but what are the ties that hold a family together? PINAY shares the joy and love of the Filipino culture in the land of Aotearoa. This story chronicles the lengths we go to change for the ones we love, and at what cost."
