Terra Nullius or: How to Be a Nationalist(en)

Even uninhabited archipelagos may be subject to drawn out territorial disputes if they are rich in oil deposits.

The desire to understand the situation leads the director to participate in several futile attempts to land on the islands. Although he finds himself on the frontline during an escalation in the conflict, he is able to maintain his distance as an impartial observer.
