"Das Leben beginnt für die kleine Pai dramatisch: Bei der Geburt sterben ihr Zwillingsbruder und ihre Mutter. Der verzweifelte Vater nennt das Kind in der Tradition seines Maori-Stammes Paikea - ein Name, der bisher den männlichen Anführern vorbehalten war. In der Obhut ihrer Grosseltern wächst Pai(kea) auf. Sie bewundert ihren Grossvater Koro, der als weises Stammesoberhaupt von allen respektiert wird. Und sie wird vorbehaltlos geliebt und unterstützt von ihrer Grossmutter Flowers, einer selbstbewussten, starken und klugen Frau. Während der Grossvater unter den Jungen des Stammes den zukünftigen Anführer sucht, lernt Pai die traditionellen Maori-Riten. Wäre sie ein Junge, wäre sie der kommende Häuptling, doch als Mädchen muss sie hart um ihre Anerkennung kämpfen. (Quelle: www.top-videonews.de)."

"In a small New Zealand coastal village, Maori claim descent from Paikea, the Whale Rider. In every generation, a male heir has succeeded to the chiefly title. When twins are born and the boy twin dies, Koro, the chief is unable to accept his grand-daughter Pai as a future leader. Koro is convinced that the tribe's misfortunes began at Pai's birth and calls for his people to bring their sons to him, sure a new leader will be revealed. Pai loves Koro more than anyone in the world, but she must fight him and a thousand years of tradition to fulfil her destiny. When whales become stranded on the beach, Koro is sure this signals an apocalyptic end to his tribe. Until one person prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the people.
