One night. One house. One island.
New Zealand drama set on Waiheke Island, following three teens who break into a holiday home for a night of partying when the owner (Colin Moy, In My Father’s Den) unexpectedly arrives. The trio confront and apprehend him, but as the night turns into dawn, the lonely man and the troubled teens find a connection in the most unexpected of ways. The directorial debut of NZ actor Paolo Rotondo (Stickmen) and the final project of the NZ Film Commission's Escalator scheme, which produced the nationally- praised Fantail.
Orphans & Kingdoms is a powerful drama about a man who returns home only to be bound and beaten by three fugitive kids. Exposed to the helplessness of his tormentors he is forced to face the demons of his own dark past. Over the course of the night the tables are turned and a tenuous bond begins to grow between them. When dawn comes, so too does the law. Now, the four of them find themselves on the run together.
