What happens

Mussau er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1964 instrueret af Arvid Klémensen efter eget manuskript. Koraløen Mussau ligger i Bismarck-havet. Selvom påvirknignerne udefra har haft nogen indflydelse på befolkningen går dagen i store træk, som den har gået i hundrede år. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
