Life Is Sweet
91 mins
A newly formed all female singing group, ‘Tamure Party’ fronted by a controversial, sexually ambiguous MC, ‘je suis neutral’. The group explore through song and dramatic reenactments, the life of Sonia and her partner Max. The film switches from sections reimagined in the nightclub in front of an audience to scenes from their life set in the informal settlement areas of Port Vila, Vanuatu’s capital. But does the group speak with one voice? Will Max divide them? Can they really work together to free Sonia from her abusive partner?
