To make Behaviours of the Backpacker, director Sandor Lau walked 500km alone from Auckland to Cape Reinga, where Maori spirits depart New Zealand after death.
This black comedy road trip documentary records the stories of backpackers from around the world, organic farmers, hostel owners, tour operators, Maori communities, and the filmmaker himself.
On his journey, Sandor discovers how much a toothbrush handle weighs, why we spend our lives walking backwards, and the true distance to home.
