On the island of Tanna, in Vanuatu, Wawa and Dain belong to the same tribe but Wawa’s marriage has been arranged in order to reconcile a violent ongoing tribal war. The narrative of this spectacularly exotic film is based on a true story from the Tanna community in the 1980s, with hints of Romeo and Juliet in its tale of star-crossed forbidden lovers.
