The film tells the story of three small remote Pacific atolls that overcame their dependence on diesel generators and became the first 100% solar-powered nation in the world, proving that it's possible to reduce fossil fuel use to a minimum. Ironically, this exemplary nation is critically affected by the emissions of the rest of the world. Tokelau belongs to the atolls whose existence is threatened by sea-level rise, forcing the islanders to build sea walls to protect themselves from storm floods.
