In the late night train, a young white university student drops his wallet under a snoring Maori man's seat. Just as he retrieves his wallet, the Maori man wakes up, notices his wallet is missing and accuses the distraught student of stealing. An Asian bystander furtively observes the heightening conflict. Played in a gripping clever turn of events, Give it Back portrays the culture of prejudice, theft and innocence that permeates within the multicultural setting of Auckland City.
