This is a warts-and-all tribute to one of the country's best-known, best-loved and most colourful literary figures. Hone Tuwhare lives in a tiny house in the South Otago settlement of Kaka Point, where he continues to write prolifically. Early in 1995 he allowed a film crew to observe him at home, around Kaka Point, and travelling the country reading his work.
The result is a punchy portrait of a remarkable poet and a great New Zealand character.
