Plot

On a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, where forests, rain and volcanic activity abound, two young lovers decide to challenge their tribes. Wawa and Dain are in love, but he is the boss's grandson and they can not be together. That's why the two of them decide to flee, but will be pursued by enemy warriors who will try to end their lives. Then they will have to decide between their hearts and the future of the tribe, while the villagers will have to face a hard decision: the preservation of their traditional culture and the adaptation to the increasing demands of individual freedom.

Bentley Dean ('Contact') and Martin Butler ('First Footprints') direct this film starring members of the Yakel tribe, including Mungau Dain, Marie Wawa, Marceline Rofit, Chief Charlie Kahla, Albi Nangia, Lingai Kowia, Dadwa Mungau, Linette Yowayin, Kapan Cook, Chief Mungau Yokay, Chief Mikum.
