This comedy was shot in Tahiti. It focuses on the rocky relationship between Cohn, a local con man, and author Jack Baker who wants to profile Paul Gauguin in an upcoming book. Cohn, an obnoxious crook and pathological liar originally from Paris, has been the bane of the local population for years, yet despite his annoyances they will not arrest him. Hearing that Cohn owns an authentic Gauguin, Jack Baker makes his acquaintance. They do not get off to a great start, but eventually become friends after Cohn's secret is discovered.

Somewhere in a very busy city there is a peaceful spot: a small park, enclosed and forgotten in the middle of the city. There you can find Ollie and his friends. An owl, a small stork, a young frog and five little birds live there together and experience all kinds of adventures. If you want to meet them, you are very welcome... if you can find it that is. Ollie is an animated series for children from 2 to 5, from the Ghent production company Lunanime for Ketnet. Each episode lasts 4 minutes. In a quiet park in the middle of a busy, noisy city, Ollie and his friends experience their adventures. The series wants to stimulate the imagination of children, with visually enchanting elements. They are stories about being afraid, discovering things, beauty, being alone, the value of friendship... Ollie is a series that appeals to the dreamer in all of us.
