    • Synopsis
    • 1759, Mau­ri­tius Island, Indi­an Ocean. Mas­sam­ba and Mati, slaves on Eugène Larcenet’s plan­ta­tion, live in fear while toil­ing in the sug­ar cane fields. Unlike her dis­il­lu­sioned father Mas­sam­ba, Mati refus­es to keep her head down and accept her fate. One night, she flees from the plan­ta­tion. As the plan­ta­tion own­er hires the mer­ci­less slave hunter Madame de la Vic­toire, Mas­sam­ba has no choice but to break his chains and set off on a des­per­ate search for her daugh­ter. As a relent­less hunt ensues in the island’s unfor­giv­ing jun­gle, the father and daugh­ter for­ev­er break away from the colo­nial order.
