An intimate, beautifully filmed portrait of Peter Ottley Karena and his family. Though European, Peter was adopted into a Maori family and is Maori in everything but skin. He lives by an internal code of values largely lost in modern times, struggling to instill the values of independence and courage in his children. Despite Peter's problems with his own father, he refused to compromise. The Ottley Karenas unite their philosophy with their circumstances, turning hardship into a meaningful and satisfying life.
"Peter Karena, his wife Colleen, their six children and many horses live almost wild in New Zealand's rugged Ruahine Mountains. Until, that is, Peter's escalating battle with his own father has profound consequences for the whole clan."
""Against isolated mountains, Peter and Colleen Karena raise their six children on the thin edge between disaster and freedom" -- Container."
