On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the
High Commissioner of the Republic and French government official DE
ROLLER is a calculating man with flawless manners. His somewhat broad
perception of his role brings him to navigate the high end
’establishment’ as well as shady venues where he mingles with the
locals.
Especially since a persistent rumor has been going around: the sighting
of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French
nuclear testing.

Every summer, hundreds of pilot whales are

suffering. Knife in hand, the Faroese denounce the hypocrisy of those

at the industries polluting our planet.
