Take Home Pay - Auckland Live Summer in the Square

Kick back and enjoy a free screening of Pasifika film Take Home Pay, which was filmed in Samoa and Aotearoa New Zealand. This iconic film is part of Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau’s outdoor summer cinema line-up and is the perfect addition to your Auckland Anniversary weekend in Aotea Square. Come early to secure your spot, bring something comfy to sit on, have a bite to eat, and catch the pre-movie entertainment.

Brothers Alama and Popo arrive for the first time in New Zealand as seasonal workers, making plenty of money to take back home to their family in Samoa. But things take a turn for the worse when Popo steals Alamas' money and runs away. Alama is determined not to return home empty handed, but the only relative who answers his call for help is Bob Titilo - an aspiring private investigator. Alama begins to doubt his decision when Bob's unconventional methods take them on a wild goose chase. This new action-comedy is brought to you by the makers of hit comedies Three Wise Cousins, Hibiscus and Ruthless, and Mama's Music Box.

Parents, please don't drop off or leave your children unsupervised at this event. Please note you cannot BYO alcohol to Summer in the Square. The Terrace Café and Hello Sailor will be open and selling both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as tasty eats and treats.
