Set in a run-down Wellington villa in 2003, Caterpillar follows three women living separate lives under one leaky roof.
Sixteen-year-old Cassie is all bravado and vulnerability, drifting into risky territory as she searches for belonging. Her mother Maxine, 52, is a formidable single parent and filmmaker on the brink of a long-awaited breakthrough, finally offered a greenlight—if she can land a star. Holding everything together is Huia, Cassie’s grandmother, 80, whose life has been defined by quiet service to family and a private obsession with raising monarch caterpillars, dreaming of one day witnessing the legendary butterfly migration in Mexico.

Budget 2026 has been unveiled, and Finance Minister Nicola Willis has confirmed this is a 'careful' Budget with an eye to the future.
Healthcare, education, and infrastructure are the top priorities, and the Government's forecasting an earlier than expected return to surplus.
There's also a new levy on banks and other financial market participants from mid-2027.
Infometrics Chief Executive Brad Olsen says it illustrates a targeted approach.
"There is a much greater focus on user pays, so instead of just general taxes paying for stuff, if you're using a service, if you're getting a benefit - you're paying for a whole lot more as well."
Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Labour's been waiting to see how much money's in the kete - before announcing its election policies.
He says there's clearly not much.
"I think this Government's resisted, probably against a number of odds, of maybe offering a few tantalising pieces, to go towards the election."
