Plots(1)

This rather sad story with a poetic atmosphere is set in the second half of the 18th century in Tahiti when colonisers arrive to this island untouched by western civilisation. Naïve Tahitians trade the treasures of their island for nails that they apparently have no idea how to use. We watch the story through the eyes of a girl who refuses to make the trade at a critical moment. (Anifilm)
