故事梗概 Synopsis

《我的拍档》讲述了西茂宜岛农村地区两个高中生的故事,他们看似生活在不同的世界,但最终发现他们并没有那么不同。外向的夏威夷运动员皮利和内向的菲律宾游戏玩家埃德玛分别隶属于拉海纳鲁纳高中两个互相竞争的团体。埃德玛所在的小组在一条修复过后的淡水溪流中过度捕捞本地物种,被皮利所在的小组逮个正着。皮利和埃德玛的社会学老师分配他们一起完成学期项目,事情变得有趣起来,他们强烈抗议但还是不得不一起合作。慢慢地,皮利和埃德玛了解到,他们和他们的文化其实有很多共同之处。他们也变得更加亲密,皮利了解了夏威夷的菲律宾移民,埃德玛了解了夏威夷的文化和历史。当他们的朋友在学校大打出手时,事情出现了转机。《我的拍档》以西毛伊岛的乡村为背景,展示了当地人民当前面临的许多问题,并包含了拉海纳镇在8月8日被烧毁之前的大量镜头。

My Partner is a story of two high school seniors in rural West Maui who seemingly live in different worlds coming to learn that they aren’t so different after all. Pili (Kaipo Dudoit), an extroverted Hawaiian jock, and Edmar (Jayron Muñoz), an introverted Filipino gamer, are part of a rivalry between two senior-class friend groups at Lahainaluna High School. The rivalry comes to a head when Edmar’s group is caught overfishing a native species in a restored fresh water stream by Pili’s group. Things get interesting when Pili and Edmar’s social studies teacher assigns the boys,who are in different class periods, to work on their semester project together. Pili and Edmar strongly protest but are forced to work together. Slowly, Pili and Edmar learn that despite surface appearances, they and their cultures have much in common. As they spend time together working on their class project, they become closer – Pili learning about Filipino immigrants to Hawai’i and Edmar learning about Hawaiian culture and history. Things come to a head when their friends get into a big fight at school. Set in rural West Maui, My Partner showcases many of the current issues facing its people today and includes extensive footage of Lahaina town before it burned down on August 8.
