The Wallis Islands community, in New Caledonia, is crying for young Soane’s departure towards an apparently thriving and promising future, which will certainly be better than his perspectives as a Maori community member. Though he is leaving, his back will always wear the scars of his father’s beatings, who is a tough pig farmer.
The journey of young and talented rugby player Soane will turn out to be the price to pay for the freedom he has always searched inside his heart. France, apparently civil and modern, is just the other face of Wallis. If the latter is a wild and insidious land, the new country, rich in comforts and services, is just not the right place for the naïve protagonist.
