The Rapture 2026

Directed by Jaimee Poipoi and Roo Reihana-Wilson · Comedy, Drama · 11 min

With the rapture just days away, two hautūtū (mischievous) cousins reunite to complete their koro’s (grandfathers) last wish, to return home. But are they ready?

With the world set to end in two days, cousins Roo and Joo are unexpectedly reunited when Roo slips into a church to confess their sins, hoping to make peace before it's too late. Reminiscing on a lesson their koro taught them both growing up,“when the rapture happens you gotta go home”, for Roo, that means it's time to go home. But for Joo, home is a little bit more complicated.
