1859. When a young Māori woman is summoned from New Zealand to a north Yorkshire estate, she finds herself haunted by confusing visions. Far from home, she uncovers gruesome secrets and is compelled to confront the titled Englishman who harbours deep secrets.

With a searing central performance by Ariāna Osborne, Mārama is an inventive and effective twist on the gothic, bringing Aotearoa to the traditional English gothic milieu and holding up a furious lens to its colonial history.
