Synopsis

'I know - it's not easy to get up every day.' the voice-over tells us at the start of this movie - and yes, it's true: every moment in life needs a bit of courage. The film tells the story of three very different people and their struggle to find the courage in every-day life: a teen drummer leaves his parents house after an intense fight with his dad, a female steel worker has to stand up for herself in front of her co-workers on the day that she realizes she's pregnant, and a 5-year old girl has to overcome her fears on the first day of school. The young lad has to choose between being sensible or remaining 'cool' in front of his peers, preferring to wear his helmet whilst skateboarding, the young woman has to battle to be heard and taken seriously at work, and is dealing with the possibility that she might never fall pregnant, while the girl faces bullying at school, looks inside herself and finds her prince in an unexpected place. The constantly present voice-over connects the three seemingly independent story lines. But as the voiceover guides us through the film, we can't shake the feeling that their destinies are intertwined. And indeed, the three characters finally clash in a dramatic accident, which is a extremely unfortunate chain of events in which the little girl gets injured. Months later, the steel worker and the drummer visit the girl in a Suva rehabilitation center, as they feel responsible for her injuries and all of them show true courage when it really counts.
