overview
What is Ruby and Rata about?
An old lady, a would-be rock singer, and a delinquent child... with more in common than they realise. Ruby, an 83 year old trying to dodge a retirement home, rents a room to Rata, a solo mum with sidelines in music and benefit fraud. Rata's son is into arson and shoplifting, while Ruby's nephew is a hapless yuppie wannabe. Marginalised by the deregulated economy of the '80s and living on their wits, they may just find common cause despite themselves. It blends drama, comedy elements. The film reflects a distinct New Zealand style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Gaylene Preston. With a runtime of 1h 51m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
