Film Synopsis
Tanala is a small village lost in the deep valleys of east
Madagascar. The arrival of a Malagasy with new ideas from the
town will unsettle the peaceful life of the local peasants. The
newcomer exhorts everyone to rise up against the whites and fight for
independence. But for the villagers rebellion will take different
forms. There are some who believe in the democratic
process, and there are others who prefer to take up arms. But the
outcome will be the same in either case: a dramatic upset for the
entire village.
