Synopsis
En 1957, alors que la Nouvelle-Calédonie doit passer du statut de colonie à celui de territoire d'outre-mer et que donc est organisé le tout dernier « bal du gouverneur », la jeune Théa Forestier (Vanessa Wagner), fille du sous-gouverneur Charles Forestier (Didier Flamand) et de son épouse Marie (Kristin Scott Thomas), doit faire face à des évènements qui vont la faire passer de l'adolescence à l'âge adulte. Jeune fille effrontée, entretenant des relations fortes avec sa meilleure amie Isabelle (Edwige Navarro) qu'elle terrorise et son jeune frère Benoît (Renaud Ménager) qu'elle martyrise et défend à la fois, elle mène alors une vie insouciante dans cette colonie tropicale. Mais tout se transforme rapidement. Ses parents s'éloignent l'un de l'autre en raison de la relation ambigüe que Marie entretient avec le Dr Michel Royan (Laurent Grévill), médecin anti-conformiste et défenseur à la fois des Kanaks et des ouvriers de l'usine de la Société « Le Nickel ». Mais surtout, elle apprend qu'Isabelle lui a caché qu'elle allait bientôt quitter l'île en raison de la mutation de son père.Actors
