Parekura and Ra re-unite on a night out in the town. Their past rekindles an old kind, odd romance for each oth­er again. They enjoy the night and end up back at Parekura’s whare where her fath­er, Chief, awaits the return of his only daugh­ter not expect­ing to see her infam­ous friend as well. Chief con­cedes to Parekura’s demands of let­ting Ra stay on the con­di­tion that she begin to take her anti-depress­ants. After catch ups are had Chief and Ra come to form a mutu­al kind of con­cern for Parekura and she begins to ask for guid­ance from her mum.

Parekura’s state of mind begins to deteri­or­ate dur­ing the day from vari­ous pres­sures and stress. As she tries to get back to a sense of good a famil­i­ar tur­bu­lence begins to arise between Ra and her­self leav­ing Ra to fig­ure out how things got so messed up, so quickly, again.

All Good explores health­i­er rela­tion­ships with­in the men­tal well being of young women and fam­il­ies while destig­mat­ising the effects of domest­ic abuse. It offers an insight into the life of a young Māori wahine as she fights against the dark­ness that tries to bring her down.
