Synopsis

1645. Guadeloupe, French West Indies. Ibátali, a Native Kalinago (one of the the Caribbean’s first nations), is married to a French settler. She takes Olaudah, a maroon African, on a journey during which he could lose his freedom and above all, his life. She is willing to sacrifice him to save herself. But their wounds bring them closer. Will they manage to restore their humanity and escape their colonial fate: a «Savage» destined to be exterminated, and a «nigger» destined to be enslaved?
