Number Two (film)

Number Two is a 2006 New Zealand comedy film directed by Toa Fraser. The film stars actress Ruby Dee as Nanna Maria, the matriarch of a large Fijian-Indian family living in Auckland, New Zealand. Nanna Maria believes she is dying and seeks to appoint a successor, her "Number Two," to maintain the family's traditions and unity.

The film revolves around the chaotic and often humorous search for a suitable Number Two, as Nanna Maria evaluates various family members. The criteria she uses are often unorthodox and reveal the complexities and changing dynamics within the family.

Number Two explores themes of family, cultural identity, tradition versus modernity, and the challenges of aging. It features a predominantly Pacific Islander cast and offers a lighthearted but insightful look into the Fijian-Indian community in New Zealand.
