In the wings of the opera "Maraina", the film combines history and oral memory, to recount in music the Europeans' first contacts with the natives of the Indian Ocean islands, made of violence and love stories. Between the XVIIth century and today, this historical road movie follows the cast's fantastic journey to the place where it all began - Fort-Dauphin, in southern Madagascar.
