MARAHORO

“Marahoro” is the amusing and heartwarming coming of age story of 15-year-old Marahoro who has a rough time balancing his father’s wishes for him to become a Rapa Nui folk artist and his own calling from the voices of the sea. The spirited young boy will find in an ancient Rapa Nui holler the strength to challenge his father’s harshness, showing him that his son can find his own place in the world and honor his culture in his own way.
