Punch

In a small New Zealand town, seventeen year old boxer Jim is on a path to a professional career, driven by his alcoholic father. His life is upended when he meets Whetu, a gay Maori boy who lives in a beachside shack. As they form a close bond, Jim is forced to confront his own sexuality, the town's violent homophobia, and his complicated relationship with his terminally ill father, leading to a dramatic choice between his past and a new future.
