Jean-René is a former worker now retired. He has been living in France, in Mâcon, since he emigrated from Reunion Island at the age of seventeen. Today, for the first time, he breaks the silence and tells his daughter his story. In doing so, he discloses mysterious dreams and pains that have their roots in the wounds of French colonial history.
