It seems that these "Sacred Hearts" have inspired imitators, even today. We'll meet three of Rikitea's residents who, with hearts "as big as this," transcend their everyday lives as remote islanders to create activities, work, solidarity, and, in short, happiness. It is this "extra soul" that our camera will seek out in the three protagonists of this film, whether on their pearl farm where they strive to make both their customers and their workers happy; in the mountains where they feverishly plant thousands of mandarin, grapefruit, and lychee trees, for pleasure, for nature, and for others; in their hives where they respect and venerate the bees, where they harvest "the gold of their bodies," honey; at the Rikitea Cathedral, where they lead the children and adults of the choir with captivating fervor; at school, where they teach mother-of-pearl engraving to Polynesian children to give them gold in their hands; in their guesthouse where they fervently want to convey to passing tourists their love for their island and their pride in being Mangarevan. This film aims to be a dive into the Mangarevian soul through three Mangarevian "sacred hearts."
