Story

1966: France inaugurates its brand new nuclear base on the atoll of Moruroa, off the coast of Tahiti. By comparing Super 8 archives captured by members of the French Navy with the text of the Tahitian author Chantal Spitz, taken from her book \"The Island of Crushed Dreams\", Aldébaran looks back on the nuclear history between the French government and Polynesia.
