NA ITOVO
Team Name: SAURIVA
Language: iTaukei
Set against the backdrop of a changing Fiji, Na Itovo follows Nima as he leaves the bustling town streets to attend a formal traditional gathering inside a village bure. Throughout the evening, elders emphasize the critical importance of chiefly protocols, proper etiquette (i-sevusevu), authentic values, and the iTaukei language. When a modern disruption and a generational disconnect challenge these sacred practices, the community is reminded that true culture is nurtured from within the home. The film closes on a poignant note, contrasting the fading light of tradition with a hopeful new dawn.
