Synopsis: In 1802, after Napoleon reinstated slavery in the French colonies, escaped Black and mixed-race slaves fled into the forests of the Caribbean. These maroons formed hidden mountain communities. Among them, Solitude, a young woman of mixed heritage, seeks refuge. But one day, beneath the canopy, a violent encounter will force her to confront her past—and shape the future of their fragile resistance. Inspired by a true story of resilience and sacrifice.

Followed by Q&A with Filmmaker & Cast.
