This reminds me of the times we were left outside the pub whilst our folks were inside boozing. The time, it's nine year old Romeo (Rangi Ngamoki) and his young bookworm brother "Ed" (Te Ahiwaru Ngamoki-Richards) who are waiting when they spy "Polly" (Hutini Wakiato) in the car next to their's. A bit of teasing goes on before a chat that might just see the embryo of undying love born? How many of us had our first crush in a car park whilst bored to distraction? It's a simple story with the younger, entirely indifferent, lad stealing the show as he refuses to fib for his brother trying to impress the girl. It's an honest and amusingly light-hearted observation that does raise a smile now and again.
