On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the High Commissioner of the Republic and French government official is a calculating man with flawless manners. His rather broad interpretation of his role leads him to navigate both the high-end “establishment” and shady venues where he mingles with the locals. The sighting of a submarine could herald the return of French nuclear testing and trigger serious consequences.
