Escape to Tahiti is a travelogue that offers an unusual view of another one of the most beautiful places on Earth: The Society Islands of French Polynesia.

What do the islands, which two hundred years ago were already renowned for their spellbinding nature, magic rituals and dances full of unbound passion, look like today? Do the mysterious rituals exist in the 21st century or are they just shows for the tourists? Have the natives retained their connection with nature that has been the source of deep understanding for centuries?
