After success with short films (This is Her, Redemption), director Katie Wolfe transitioned to longer-length story-telling with this 2010 drama. With This is Her writer Kate McDermott adapted the Witi Ihimaera novel, Nights in the Gardens of Spain, about a 40-something man confronting his double life, and the impact that his coming out as gay has on his wife, kids, and whānau. A key change was turning the book’s Pākehā protagonist into a successful Māori businessman (Calvin Tuteao). It screened on TV One on 23 January 2010 and at festivals internationally.
