Synopsis A beauty pageant in Suva, Fiji sets the stage for a documentary unlike any other. The theme of the pageant is “preserving our environment the Pacific way� due to the adverse effects of global warming on most Pacific Island countries. The girls put on a show in their cultural attire and perform songs and dances from their native countries, but amidst it all they give their heart-rending experiences of how their homelands are flooding, making way for a place that may never be home again for any one.
