Femme de consul, Viviane participe à une expédition en Nouvelle-Guinée. Elle s'éprend du leader du groupe, dont l'objectif est d'atteindre une mystérieuse vallée, où nul n'ose s'aventurer. En leur compagnie, Viviane s'initie aux rituels indigènes et à toutes sortes de plaisirs inconnus.

Viviane (Ogier), the wife of the French consul in Melbourne, joins a group of explorers in search of a mysterious hidden valley in the bush of New Guinea, where she hopes to find the feathers of an extremely rare exotic bird. Along the way through the dense jungles of Papua New Guinea and on the peak of Mount Gilowe, she and the small group of explorers make contact with the Mapuga tribe, one of the most isolated groups of human beings on earth, who inspire them to explore their own humanity, unfettered by their own subjective ideas of "civilization." The search becomes a search for a paradise said to exist within a valley marked as "obscured by clouds" on the maps. The film ends with their arrival at the valley, having endured much travail in the journey.
