Im Jahre 1898 läßt Robert MacIntyre in den Urwäldern Australiens für seine über alles geliebte Frau Catherine den Palast Zanana bauen. Doch als Catherine bei der Geburt ihrer Tochter Kate stirbt, zerbricht das Glück, das über Zanana schwebt, und seine Bewohner zerstreuen sich in alle Winde. Die verlassene Villa verfällt - bis sie mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert später von einem spielenden Mädchen entdeckt wird. Der verwunschene Ort läßt Odette nicht mehr los, und so macht sie sich Jahre später als junge Frau auf, endlich das Geheimnis von Zanana zu lüften ...… (altro)
An interesting story set around 1970's societal attitudes as well as cultural issues set on the Hawaiian Islands.
