Geschichte
In 'Rapa Nui', inter-tribal rivalry between the Long Ears and Short Ears leads to a competition to erect a giant statue (moai) in record time on Easter Island. A warrior from the ruling class, Make, falls in love with a girl from the lower class while trying to win the race for his tribe's honor. The prize for winning is to rule the island for a year. Meanwhile, there's a separate race to retrieve the egg of a Sooty Tern, which could grant power over the island if won.
