Vive la France background

Vive la France

A young family's joy is disrupted when they discover their infant son is born with a life-threatening heart condition in a distant French Polynesian island with limited access to medical facilities.

On the remote Tureia island in French Polynesia, a young couple, Kua and Teriki, are set to tie the knot. However, their joy is short-lived as they're informed that their son Maoki is born with a heart condition, likely caused by the nuclear tests conducted by France on the nearby Moruroa island. The tests have already taken a toll on their family, and the island itself is on the verge of collapse, threatening a devastating tsunami that could wipe out their entire community.
