Kawa (film)
Kawa is a 2010 New Zealand film directed by Katie Wolfe originally titled Nights in the Gardens of Spain. The film stars Calvin Tuteao as Kawariki. A coming out film drama, it is based on the novel Nights in the Gardens of Spain by Witi Ihimaera.
Plot
The film tells the story of Kawariki (Calvin Tuteao), an apparently happy family man married to Annabelle (Nathalie Boltt). His father Hamiora (George Henare) is retiring and according to the Maori tradition, Kawariki should be prepared to take over his father's place as head of the family. But he realizes that in order to do so, he has to keep his integrity and reveal his lifelong secret of being gay ever since childhood. He has been desperately fighting his feelings for years, but now frequents gay baths and he has a love affair with Chris (Dean O'Gorman).
Things get more complicated and acquire more urgency when his mother Grace (Vicky Haughton) discovers him kissing Chris on the beach after a fight between the two and decides to expel him from her house. When he finally comes out to his father and his wife, it is too late for Chris who has moved in with another partner after waiting for so long for him.
Kawa (Scheme implementation)
Kawa is a language framework written in Java that implements the programming language Scheme, and can be used to implement other languages. It is a part of the GNU Project.
The name "Kawa" comes from the Polish word for coffee – a play on words, since Java is another familiar name for coffee.
Integration with Java
Besides using the Scheme programming language, Java object fields and methods can be accessed using code like this:
This will invoke a Java method, and does the same thing as object.method(argument, ...) in Java.
An object's fields can be accessed with:
or
Static (class) methods can be invoked with the function "invoke-static".
Kawa can be extended with Java code (by creating scheme functions in Java), as well as combined with other JVM implementations.
How to use
To run Kawa on GNU/Linux:
To compile a Scheme file to a class file, the -C parameter is used:
This will produce "file.class", which can be run by typing "java file". It is also possible to create an applet or servlet (to compile a servlet, "servlet-xxx.jar" must be in the CLASSPATH variable).

Diminished responsibility
You're de ninth person to see
To be suspended in a seventh
Major catastrophe
It's a minor point but gee
Augmented by the sharpness of your
See what I'm going through
A to be with you
In a flat by the sea
