Set on a remote Pacific island, covered in rain forest and dominated by an active volcano, this heartfelt story, enacted by the Yakel tribe, tells of a sister's loyalty, a forbidden love affair and the pact between the old ways and the new.
This is a king of Romeo & Juliet tale, but the anthropological aspect of the movie is of more interest.
Timeless.
