A boxing hero's world is turned upside down when he becomes attracted to a feisty outsider. Welby Ings' PUNCH is a powerful and moving debut.
Seventeen-year-old Jim (Jordan Oosterhof) is a small-town boxing hero who carries the hopes and dreams of his father Stan (Tim Roth, The Hateful Eight) on his shoulders. But when he becomes aware of his strong attraction to Whetu (Conan Hayes), a feisty gay Maori teenager ostracised from the narrow-minded local community, Jim starts to see the limitations of his world, and understand what he and Whetu must do to break free. New Zealand filmmaker Welby Ings' powerful coming-of-age drama is a beautifully shot and moving story about finding queer love and identity in the face of overwhelming odds.
