On a beautiful Pacific island a boy's friendship with a magical turtle brings vengeance from the villagers.
Somewhere between fact and fiction, superstition and the supernatural, lies the story of Jonasi, The Silent One. It is a magical tale echoing the rhythms and legends of the Pacific, of village life, and of the sea; filmed in the Cook Islands, on an idyllic coral atoll representing a mythical Polynesian island.
