BURNING CARS tells a paradox. New Caledonia is a dazzling mermaid with its blue-lagoon charms. But while crisscrossing this French Pacific island, I was struck by the underlying tension contained in this exotic paradise. Historical wounds, links of tortuous love with France, island microcosm and thorny juxtaposition of societies with opposite values ​​... The film explores a place, a universe. A tale of travel and meetings.
