Set against the backdrop of the Pacific islands, the narrative explores the lives of European men from diverse backgrounds who navigate prosperity and hardship. Some achieve wealth and status, while others languish in idleness, supported by local women. The story unfolds in Papeete, where three men sit under a tree, reflecting on their circumstances as the vibrant nightlife fades into silence. The atmosphere captures the juxtaposition of cultural influences and the struggles of those less fortunate, all amidst the beauty of the island setting.
