On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the high commissioner of the Republic and French government must investigate an ongoing rumor: the sighting of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French nuclear testing.

This powerful political thriller takes place in breathtaking landscapes of French Polynesia as well as in its hotels, clubs, military bases... creating a specific and indefinable atmosphere full of tension. Benoît Magimel's Cesar and Lumière Awards winning interpretation is a true masterpiece as he plays one of his most outstanding performance. 

With 2 Cesar, 3 Lumiere awards and being part of the Festival de Cannes selection, Pacifiation has truly become a reference on the French cinema scene.
