Two anthropologists travel to a remote island in the South Pacific to study its culture in the 1930s. Evelyn is an adventurous free thinker, while her husband Phillip is a rigid scholar bound to convention and propriety. Tension develops between the couple when Phillip fails to acknowledge what Evelyn sees as obvious: that women run this lusty culture. Tensions are upped another notch when Evelyn falls for Mick, a macho American pearl merchant. As Evelyn’s life begins to crash in around her, the Japanese army invades her island paradise and tragedy strikes her priggish husband. (Beyond Films)
