Punch background

Punch

As Jim trains for his debut professional fight, he's forced to confront his identity and sense of direction after crossing paths with Whetu, a charismatic gay Maori boy who lives in a small beachside shack.

A 17-year-old boxer, Jim, is on the cusp of a professional career, but his demanding coach father and the pressures of small-town boxing take a toll. Jim's life intersects with Whetu, a gay Maori boy who dreams of leaving town to pursue music. As they navigate isolation, hypocrisy, and queer bashing, Jim must confront what it means to be a gay man and reevaluate what it means to be strong.
