Na década de 1970, Merata Mita (1942-2010) rompeu barreiras de raça, classe e gênero para se tornar a primeira mulher maori a escrever e dirigir um longa-metragem. Ela se tornou uma das cineastas mais conhecidas da Nova Zelândia e uma voz poderosa para os povos indígenas de todo o mundo. Neste filme, o filho mais novo de Merata, Hepi, cria um retrato íntimo de sua falecida mãe. Com base em imagens do trabalho da diretora, bem como em entrevistas com ela antes de pegar uma câmera, Hepi captura Merata como cineasta, mãe, esposa e mentora.

Liam is nineteen, fresh out of high school, and enjoying a life of parties and pills. He lives with his grandmother. He keeps her at an arm’s length, and so, when she has a sudden stroke, he ignores her call, and doesn’t find out until he reads a text message sent from Wellington Hospital. He rushes to the hospital, in the middle of the night, drunk and hopped up on cheap stimulants. He is greeted by a closed door, and a nurse who tells him he has to wait to see his grandma. Thus, Liam spends a night and a morning in the hospital, contemplating his decisions, while befriending a young boy who is waiting for news of his mother. A social-realist drama, Boxes is a story about regret, relationships, and the widespread existence of small tragedies.
