Maka, a Tongan superfan, will stop at nothing to get tickets for the Rugby World Cup match between Tonga and France—even if it means promising to provide a brass band for the pre-match entertainment. The only problem? The band doesn’t exist yet, and Maka has four weeks to put one together. "A beautifully crafted story, full of heart and laughter, inspired by an incredible, authentic, and unvarnished true story..." – New Zealand Herald
