This is a captivating story set in two different times and places. In 1962, Haiti, we follow a man who seems to defy death itself, only to be thrown into the torment of grueling sugarcane field labor. This bleak existence serves as a stark counterpoint to the lavish setting of Paris, where the narrative unfolds 55 years later. Here, at the esteemed Légion d’honneur boarding school, our protagonist is a young Haitian girl who shares her family's long-held secret with newfound friends, an intimate revelation she could never have anticipated would inspire one of them to take desperate action. This poignant tale intertwines themes of survival, resilience, and the transformative power of friendship as it moves between past and present, Haiti and France, ultimately painting a vivid portrait of human experience in all its complexities and contradictions.
