On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the High Commissioner of the Republic and French government official De Roller (a calculating man with flawless manners, navigating the high end "establishment" but also mingling with the lower-class locals), is forced to deal with the consequences of a rumor that has been persistently spreading: the sighting of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French nuclear testing. The grand Albert Serra, three years after the shocking Liberté, which seemed as if coming from the pages of a Marquis de Sade, is taking on a different thematic, stylistic and narrative approach, returning with a visually stunning, contemporary political thriller about the novel forms of colonialism, which impressed last year's Cannes Film Festival, gained critical acclaim, and is already considered to be one of the top films of the year.
