Wait, Wait, Now!
A Maori and a Kiwi teen buddy up to raid their mum’s wardrobe and pucker their lips with red.
Overview
When best friends Alex and Sam are left at home for the night, they do what all teenage boys do: raid mum’s wardrobe, play dress ups, and create a fantasy world where they feel safe and accepted. Well, maybe that's just what some boys do. But little do they know, the parents are on to them. Is there a safe bubble about to burst?
Part of the #FiveFilmsForFreedom 2025 programme, presented in partnership with British Council.
