Synopsis
A white-skinned Creole woman channels the trauma of a tragic event from Réunion into her political activism. By night, through poetic acts of vandalism, she fights for the independence of this French island in the Indian Ocean. Her ideological battle does not sit well with her son, a police officer. One night, caught in the act after a final act of rebellion, the son is forced to confront his mother. In this verbal duel, violence may not come from where we expect.
