The documentary tells the story of three small remote atolls in the middle of the Pacific that overcame their isolation and dependence on diesel generators to become the first 100% solar-powered nation in the world, proving that it is possible to reduce the use of fossil fuels and emission of greenhouse gases to a minimum. Ironically, this exemplary nation is critically affected by the emissions of the rest of the world. Tokelau belongs to the atolls whose existence is threatened by sea-level rise, forcing the islanders to build sea walls to protect themselves from storm floods. The film gives a unique insight into the way of life on a small atoll: the locals' fishing and cooking traditions, education, culture, religious and political life.
