Māhū—Reclaiming what’s rightfully theirs
Why did Māhū, a term once respected in Hawaiian culture, become so controversial?
Saba
With her father missing, Saba is the sole caregiver to her paraplegic mother, Shirin, who suffers from acute heart disease. Although Shirin's condition binds them together, her frustration with their situation often manifests as bitterness and anger towards her daughter, so they live in their own separate worlds. When Shirin has a heart attack, Saba races against time to sell their home, lowering the price, and even risking her burgeoning romance with her senior co-worker Ankur — who dreams of starting a new life abroad — to pay for her mom’s heart surgery.
