In a traditional tribal society in the South Pacific, a young girl, Wawa, falls in love with her chief’s grandson, Dain. When an inter-tribal war escalates, Wawa is unknowingly betrothed as part of a peace deal. The young lovers run away, refusing her arranged fate. They must choose between their hearts and the future of the tribe, while the villagers must wrestle with preserving their traditional culture and adapting it to the increasing outside demands for individual freedom.

There are two moments in this film that really stood out to me and both are from the little sister, one is where she looks right down the eye of the camera and the other is her sobbing in a hollowed out tree. The dance at the end is also stunning.
