PLOT





Vincent Ward weaves drama with documentary to unravel the

extraordinary story of Puhi, the Tuhoe woman who welcomed the

young filmmaker into her home in 1978. Ward made the

observational film In Spring One Plants Alone about Puhi's

day-to-day life in the remote Urewera Ranges. By then almost

80, she was obsessively caring for her schizophrenic adult son

Niki, whose violent fits terrified her. In this new cinema

feature Ward sets out to unravel the mystery that has haunted

him for 30 years: Who was Puhi?



And why was she so obsessed with this last remaining son?



Using his relationship with Puhi as the framework to explore

her life, he finds a woman of extraordinary fortitude who, at

the age of 12, was chosen by the great Tuhoe prophet Rua

Kenana to marry his son, Whatu. Rua gave her the name, Puhi

("special one". At 14, she had her first baby while hiding in

the bush, having escaped from the 1916 police raid on Rua's

community at Maungapohatu, where she witnessed the arrest of

Rua and Whatu and the killing of Toko, Rua's other son, said

to be her lover.



She would go on to have 13 more children. But by the time Ward

made his initial film, there were few signs of what had become

of them. In Rain of the Children, he finds out how the loss of

her children affected the course of her life. The tragedies

she lived through were so powerful that some, including her,

believed she was cursed.



After a tumultuous second marriage and the manslaughter of her

third husband, Puhi was left with her dependant son, Niki. She

dedicated herself to this man-child, trying to protect him at

all costs, even from beyond the grave.



Rain of the Children is Ward's search for truth in the story

of a woman who sought redemption through love and who has

remained a touchstone for him throughout his life.
