To show her that he is still a man he takes a native girl as his lover and he finds himself liking the primitive existence. But the island’s purity has been shattered by the corrupt intrusion of Marita and her husband, and Marita slowly begins to realize that civilization, family and husband mean more to her than she previously imagined.
Quote:
The cinematography is magnificent, as well as the shots of the Gauguin paintings. However the film was never relished on video or DVD. This is the dubbed English version which was available on HULU. In short the film centers around a man going in search of his wife, who walked out on him. He traces her to Bora Bora, and this is where his problems really begin, with his obsession of winning his wife back, trying all types of ploys to do so.
