In the kingdom of the lagoons where the custom wants that only the men can become kings. The young Aïmata Pomaré will break this law. Faced with the hostility of her fellow men, threatened by the covetousness of England and France, Aïmata, a young Tahitian princess, will try to save her traditions and her people in order to offer them a destiny. This is how she will become the last queen of Tahiti and make peace with France.

Taiti, 1903. Doctor, poet and artist Victor Segalen left France and headed for Hiva-Oa, to meet Gauguin personally. On his arrival on the island, he learns the painter had passed away. Adapted from the writings of Victor Segalen, Longe da Estrada is a very fine view of the work, life and contradictions of the great painter Paul Gauguin. And a modern analysis of the relationship between colonizers and colonized people.
