This warm-hearted hour is a signature Massive Company ensemble piece: real-life snippets cleverly performed with spark and verve by six emerging artists, polished and packaged within vaguely themed, slightly earnest framing.
There are a lot of mannered, collective swooping movements, but when the performers are allowed to break ranks and show individual personality to tell their own stories with energy and humour, they're captivating.
Directed by Sam Scott and Miriama McDowell, Sieni Leo'o comically compares her grandparents' easy comfort with each other to her own escaping stomach when talking to a boy; Liam Jacobson remembers watching shooting stars while lying on the grass at Mangawhai campground. This is young adults' nostalgia for a childhood and adolescence that they've only just realised they've left for good.
Particularly enthralling, Denyce Su'a explains her love of saying the word "perpendicular" - "It's like my tongue is doing a tango and my lips are clapping in amazement " - and in a rare and stunning gender reversal, Jacobson and taller Su'a perform a wonderful, refreshing, tender pas-de-deux.
The perennial search for New Zealand identity continues - going barefeet may be our strongest cultural marker - but happily Samoa ("my favourite place!") is also discussed by the three cast members of Samoan heritage, with no thought to forcing the two loyalties into artificial opposition.
