Wat als je aan het einde van de wereld de liefde van je leven tegenkomt en hem niet meer kunt loslaten?
Bestel
Als fotograaf Sanne naar het piepkleine eilandenrijk Kiribati afreist voor een reportage ontmoet ze Taubu; visser, lokale volleybalheld en volkomen onbekend met het Westen. Wat begint als een vakantieflirt, groeit uit tot een allesverslindende liefde. Als Taubu enkele maanden later voor het eerst in zijn leven in een vliegtuig stapt om Sanne te bezoeken, slaat corona toe en kan hij niet meer naar huis. Van de ene op de andere dag geldt hij als ‘illegaal’, en een jarenlange weg langs instanties begint.

TAUBU EN TAUBUKI
When Taubu looks at his twin brother Taubuki, he sees the life he would have led if he had not fallen in love with a Dutch photographer. Living in a self-built wooden house on Kiribati, a tropical island in the Pacific Ocean, the warm days are filled with spearfishing and spontaneous encounters. Instead, Taubu lives in a 1930s house on the edge of the center of Arnhem, with his girlfriend. He places solar panels on roofs and tries to adapt to the Dutch obsession with pushing agendas.
