 Naming
Number Two
(2005, 96 min. Fiction) NEW ZEALAND
Director: Toa Fraser
Nanna Maria (portrayed by film great Ruby Dee) is the matriarch
of a family of Fijians living in New Zealand. Led by a dream,
she demands that her grandchildren organize a feast at which she
will name her successor. As the grandchildren turn up, tensions—both
personal and cultural—arise, and the preparations unravel
into chaos. Naming Number Two is a big-hearted, exuberant
story about what it takes to bring Nanna's family together again.
Winner of the Audience Award for World Cinema at the Sundance
Film Festival.
