On a Pacific island, ordinary women take the burlesque stage to turn their vulnerability into strength, their bodies into a manifesto, and their journey into an act of liberation.
In New Caledonia, a small island in the Pacific, a choreographer introduces a group of women to the art of burlesque. Who dares to put themselves on stage publicly with their bulges, wrinkles and small breasts? What are the stories behind the stories told on stage? Learners and performers from all walks of life open the doors to an intimate and colorful universe, where learning is also, and above all, a deeply moving journey towards oneself.
