What happens

Mi go Long CD-haus er en film instrueret af Sofie Rørdam, Anders Skovbjerg Jepsen. Hver uge stråler Hollywood-filmene ud over træhytterne i den Papua Ny Guineanske stamme-landsby, Dikanel. De unge flokkes om den lille tv-skærm, hvor Van Damme og Rambo slås. I filmen møder vi Mika og hans far, Russel. Mika vil bare være teenager og hænge ud med sine venner i biografen. Men Russel er bekymret for sin søn, der lader traditionen i stikken. Kan Mika og Russel finde en balance mellem det nye og traditionen? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
