Description:

In the year 1759, Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean serves as the backdrop for a harrowing tale of slavery, rebellion, and the relentless quest for freedom. The island is ruled by French settlers and shackled slaves toil under their whips in the sugar cane fields, their lives defined by fear and submission. Despite this oppressive reality, Mati, a 16-year-old girl whose father Massamba has become disillusioned with their existence, refuses to accept her fate as a slave.One fateful night, driven by the desire for freedom and the determination to escape the violence of the plantation, Mati flees into the dense jungle, rumored to hold a community of liberated souls. The plantation owner, unwilling to let his property slip away, hires the ruthless slave hunter Madame La Victoire and her sons to track down the rebellious girl. As Massamba comes to understand the brutal consequences that await Mati if captured, he must defy the chains binding him and embark on a desperate journey to find his daughter, navigating the unforgiving wilderness of Mauritius in pursuit.In this thrilling race against time, as the relentless hunt unfolds through the island's untamed jungle, Mati and Massamba break free from the suffocating grip of colonial oppression and forge a new path toward liberation and hope.
