Film Synopsis
When he was ten years old, Patrick, a West Indian, was sent by his
mother to study in France. Thirty years later, he is a
distinguished historian, proud of his achievements and so
well-integrated into French society that he has almost lost sight of
his racial origins. On hearing that his mother is at death's
door, Patrick immediately heads off for Martinique with his daughter
and arrives at the height of the carnival season. For three days,
accompanied by his childhood friend Zamba, Patrick will coast on a wave
of emotion and madness. These three days will change his life
forever...
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
