Followed by a Q&A with director Albert Serra

Tahiti, French Polynesia: High Commissioner De Roller (Benoît Magimel) on the French island is a man of impeccable manners, yet calculated at the same time. Through visits to official receptions as well as shady establishments, he tries to understand and anticipate the mood of the local population. Angry riots could break out at any time. This is all the more true as a rumor persists stubbornly: Supposedly, a submarine has been sighted whose ghostly appearance could herald a resumption of French nuclear testing.

For „Pacifiction – Tourment sur les îles,“ director Albert Serra received his first invitation this year to compete for the Palme d'Or, the main prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
