Film Synopsis

Horace, the popular mayor of Marie Galante, Guadeloupe, refuses to sell some land that he owns to an aggressive property developer who intends building a vast luxury apartment block on the island.  After a wild party to celebrate his birthday, Horace learns that his wife Lucia has been abducted whilst passing through Paris.  Her kidnappers insist that she will only be returned to him if he agrees to give up his land and allows the construction project to go ahead.  Not one to give in without a fight, Horace travels to Paris with his sons and sets about enlisting the support of the Antillaise community.  But time is not on their side.  They have only three days in which to find Lucia and capture her abductors...
