HOLY DAYS is a charming NZ/Canada co‑production based on the novel by Joy Cowley, brought to life by writer‑director Nat Boltt.
Set against the backdrop of 1970s Aotearoa and adapted from Joy Cowley’s beloved novel, Holy Days is a heartfelt, family‑friendly comedy about loss, faith, and unexpected whānau found along the way.
What begins as a local mission becomes an uplifting tale about courage, found whānau, and the gentle rebellions that shape who we become.
