Climate change is leading to disastrous consequences for the inhabitants of the atoll of Taku’u (Papua New Guinea), where rising waters are forcing people to consider emigrating to the mainland. Beyond the environmental issues, this film examines the rights of minorities, through the alternative ways of life, acceptable or not, that are offered to them.
