On the South Pacific island of Bora Bora, a young couple's love is threatened when the tribal chief declares the girl a sacred virgin.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's title comes from the concept of TAPU (from which the concept of taboo originated) – one form of sacredness in Polynesian culture.
  • In 1994, the film was selected for preservation by the U.S. Library of Congress’s National Film Registry as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
