The Strength Of Water

When a mysterious stranger (Tai) arrives in their isolated coastal town, ten-year-old twins Kimi and Melody are forced apart. While others punish Tai, Kimi acts out his heartbreaking loneliness in destructive, angry ways, while looking after the Melody that only he can see. His family is concerned for him, but only Kimi's belief in his sister can save him. Kimi must find the strength to let go of what he loves the most.

Told in a compellingly honest and sparse yet beautiful manner, it is a film about growing up, surviving difficult times and becoming stronger for it. Once Kimi loses Melody he is literally thrown off balance. As Kimi searches angrily for answers, those around him have their own reactions. His brother Gene seeks violent revenge; his parents grieve silently; and lonely teenage girl Tirea finds a fragile kind of love with the outcast Tai.
