Synopsis

"In Spring One Plants Alone" is a quiet story about Puhi, a strong Maori elder, and her adult son, Niki, who relies on her. The film shows their life together in a secluded setting, where daily routines, traditions, and mutual support are deeply connected. Filmed over a year and a half, the film offers a simple yet moving look at their lives, revealing a rare and powerful glimpse into their unique world. It carefully shows the subtle ways they relate to each other and the difficulties they encounter. The film presents seemingly small moments – everyday actions, kind gestures, and difficult exchanges – that gradually reveal the deep connection and enduring bond between an elderly mother and her struggling son. "In Spring One Plants Alone" is a thoughtful look at what it means to be human and a moving story about strength in the face of hardship.
