The couple's dream of starting a bakery is shattered when they are unable to secure a loan from the bank, due to the risk that the Mururoa atoll may implode, setting off a devastating tsunami. Vive La France reveals the willful existence of a small island community, while delivering a grave lesson on the ecological consequences of nuclear testing and the political ramifications of French colonialism in Polynesia. In this film about the hair-rising consequences of France's nuclear programme, it's plain to see the indifference that was and still is the mark of the Western world.
