Magik and Rose
Magik travels in a house truck along the West Coast of New Zealand, reading tarot cards and looking for the daughter she gave up for adoption years earlier. When she stops in Hokitika, she meets Rose, a chemist's assistant struggling to conceive with her husband. The two women team up: Rose helps search local records for Magik's daughter, while Magik offers advice and remedies to help Rose get pregnant.
