On the Caribbean island of Martinique slaves live in shacks and cut sugar cane for their white owners. A boy and his grandmother are determined to break the cycle. The boy has an unusual intellect, with a particular gift for writing, which is his ticket to a school in the big city. His grandmother is stern but loving, willing to sacrifice anything so that he does not have to live a life as a slave. An enjoyable, laid-back film with a somewhat episodic and predictable plot.
