In the distant year 1846, on one of the islands of the southern seas, fate brought together the Frenchwoman Emilie Maren and the leader of a Polynesian tribe, Atea. For the sake of a fair-haired white girl, Atea бросає her betrothed—Moana, the beauty—while Emilie is ready to trade her life in Paris for love of a “savage.” But the lovers still don’t know what trials await them on the path to forbidden happiness.
