2012 Festival | Keao PBS Short Film Festival

Keao follows a young woman's journey of self-actualization through the use of ancient cultural practices. A young Hawaiian girl goes to work at a hotel lu'au show where she dances with a cast of other young Polynesian dancers. It appears to be a usual evening at work until she is interrupted by a new addition to her costume: a coconut bra.
