Young adult Harold Chasen, solitary and friendless by choice, is obsessed with death, this fascination manifesting itself in he staging his own fake suicides, driving a hearse and attending funerals, even of people he doesn't know, all to the chagrin of his exasperated wealthy mother with whom he lives. Mrs. Chasen is determined for Harold to be "normal", including her sending him into therapy to deal with his issues and finding him a girlfriend through a computer dating service. It is at a series of funerals that Harold meets Maude, on the cusp of her eightieth birthday, she who too attends funerals of strangers. Unlike Harold, Maude is obsessed with life - her own life to be more precise - she does whatever she wants to please herself, damned what others may think or how they may be affected. Since she can't take material possessions with her, she is more interested in experiences, with whatever material possessions she has - often "borrowed" without asking - only to further those experiences. Their friendship is initially based on how the other can further their own priority. But as Maude shows Harold how to truly live, Harold falls in love with her. Their relationship, already limited in time by the sheer math, is curtailed even more as Maude shows him only not how to live well, but die well.

Two Worlds weaves together the various strands of Marlon’s experience – musician, actor, son, friend and student of te reo Māori among them – as he reflects on his career so far and the challenges and pleasures of articulating his worldview in te reo Māori. The change of language casts a new and revealing light on Marlon and his creative process, while also acting as a catalyst for Marlon to reflect on love, music and life – and what he wants from his. Marlon’s journey is situated within the bicultural context of Aotearoa New Zealand at what is a tense moment in the nation’s history. In Marlon’s voice and art, one hears echoes of the musical traditions that have sustained and nurtured him: the buzzing marae, the classical training that refined his powerful voice, the country and folk genres in which he first found critical success. And in Marlon’s story, we can see the outline of Aotearoa New Zealand’s, as the country seeks to unify its fractious history into a cohesive future. All the while, the film – in keeping with Marlon’s laid-back personality – never takes itself too seriously, never forgetting that, at heart, this is a story of joyful self-discovery. And that is always something to celebrate.
