A Maori warrior comes upon the aftermath of a battle and finds that the only survivor is a wounded enemy soldier. He desires to avenge his fallen countrymen by finishing off this helpless enemy, but the gods won't allow it. Anguished that he must instead treat the soldier's wounds, he's further repelled by the soldier's incessant homosexual advances. Slowly and surprisingly, a change comes over the warrior to accept the soldier's advances, but the war all too soon intrudes upon them.
