TANNA

In the South Pacific, Wawa, a young girl from one of the last traditional tribes, falls in love with her chief’s grandson, Dain. When an intertribal war escalates, Wawa is unknowingly betrothed as part of a peace deal. The lovers run away, but are pursued by enemy warriors intent on killing them.

Nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, this tender story of forbidden love is a visually rich masterpiece. Based on a true story, Tanna is the first film shot on the titular island, sensitively addressing the tribal culture of its people with a magnetic cast of non-professional actors.
