Tenuously based on the legends of Easter Island, Chile, this story details a civil war between the two tribes on the island: the Long Ears and the Short Ears. A warrior from the ruling class falls in love with a girl from the lower class, and must decide on his position in a time of great civil unrest. The ruling class are demanding larger and larger Moai (stone statues), a task which the lower class and the island ecology are more and more reluctant to provide. —Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>

Among the ancient, gigantic carved stone torsos
Very interesting film of exotic anthropological adventures, a genre that used to be more typical of Hollywood's Golden Age than of the 1990's. The story concerns the lives of indigenous people on Easter Island, with an ecological message and an exciting series of raiders' exploits.
