Episode 8

Overview

Adriatica's world tour continues in Polynesia. Together with Syusy, Orso and his wife Orsa we will explore the Tuamotu Islands in search of the ideal location for the film. As you may remember, in the previous episode we left Syusy struggling with the making of a film: the story of a woman fleeing to Polynesia, to experience the myth of a tropical paradise. In Rangiroa, the capital of the Tuamotu, Syusy is enchanted. These are the places of Folco Quilici, the famous documentary maker who made an entire generation daydream. We will meet Bruno, the invaluable Polynesian guide with a histrionic temperament and deadly mimicry (the imitation of spearfishing is unmissable!). Another characteristic of Bruno is not mincing words; in fact, he will spark a lively controversy with a French master about the disasters of colonialism.
