In 1759 colonial Mauritius, enslaved 16‑year‑old Mati flees to join rumored maroon hideouts, triggering a brutal manhunt led by the plantation owner and slave hunter Madame La Victoire. Her father Massamba escapes the plantation, journeying through the jungle to find her. Their survival quest becomes a profound break from colonial oppression.
