The descendants [videorecording].
Matt King is an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family's land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries.

"Another beautifully chiseled piece of filmmaking - sharp, funny, generous, and moving."--Entertainment Weekly.
"Rarely has a contemporary movie taken in so much life and revealed it with such depth of feeling."--Washington Post.
