Description:

In this gripping tale set in Polynesia, our protagonist faces a cruel twist of fate as he is unjustly incarcerated following an altercation with a colonial oppressor. Separated from his wife and left to the mercy of the overbearing system, the sailor's community bands together to plead for the governor's compassion. However, their desperate cries for justice are soon drowned out by the impending roar of an unforgiving tropical storm that threatens not only their fragile hope but also the very fabric of their island way of life. The film masterfully explores themes of injustice, community resilience, and nature's relentless force against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.
