Le rescapé de Tikeroa

Set in 1939, the film follows a French policeman, played by Jacques Martin, who finds himself forgotten on a remote island during an administrative tour. Unbeknownst to him, the world is changing dramatically due to the war, which he learns about only when a German ship arrives. The film's comedic tone contrasts with the serious backdrop of war, as the policeman navigates his isolation and the whimsical nature of the island's inhabitants.

The narrative focuses on the interactions between this bureaucratic figure and the joyful local population. Through humor, the policeman evolves and embraces the island's carefree spirit, adding layers to the comedy while hinting at the drama of the surrounding world. This unique blend of genres offers a fresh take on the war theme, making it a distinctive entry for collectors interested in lesser-known TV movies from the era.
