The world’s first film directed, written, and produced by a native Marquesan, Heretu Tetahiotupa. It’s Christophe Cordier’s first film as well. Witness how a remote Southern Pacific islander people rediscover and celebrate their nearly lost identity by uncovering the cultural puzzles left behind through patutiki, the art of Marquesan tattoo,

The stories etched on their Polynesian skin document their history. Unlike other Polynesian societies, Marquesans created an artistic symbolism by which to tell their people’s stories, their way of seeing the world and human kind’s place in it. In 1920, 97% of their population was decimated, only 2000 survived. With tattoo declared illegal by church and state, the last of the “black-skinned” elders found unique ways to guard their dying people’s precious history.
