Genre: Drama
Plot: Based on the novel by Joseph Zobel, this visually beautiful film captures an era of French colonial history from a less glamourous angle. In the shantytowns surrounding a sugar plantation, an orphaned boy named Jose lives with his grandmother. Though hard labor, long work hours and the hot sun make life in French Martinique oppressive, Jose and his buddies view the town as their playground. But Grandmother Tine won't have Jose running wild. She wants him to concentrate on his studies. Her advice and his diligence eventually pay off when Jose wins a scholarship to attend Fort-de-France, an academically reputable high school for elites. In this environment, Jose excels, pursuing his dream of becoming a writer.
