Synopsis

Long ago, Kalā (the sun) raced across the sky as he pleased, leaving the land and its people with short days and long, dark nights. Among those suffering from the lack of daylight was the goddess Hina, mother of Māui the demigod. In order to make things pono (right), Māui summons all his courage and travels to the highest summit of Haleakalā where he confronts the Mighty Kalā.
