Synopsis

The Trobriand Islands are small coral islets laying between the Solomon Islands and New Guinea. Some decades ago, the people there, dressed with little more than leaves and flowers, led quite an idyllic live.

The images that Jaques Villeminot and his wife Betty captured in the middle of the 20th century are a testament to this forgotten tribe’s way of life.
