It's 1863 and Cornish settlers Ruby and Samuel are trying to get their prized baby grand piano to Auckland before war breaks out in the Waikato.
Then Samuel brings home a mysterious Māori girl. Ruby uses her te reo to try to find out more about Te Haeata and why she is so interested in the view through their window - and where she really came from.
A play about language, funny accents and understanding worlds.
