Alix wanders the wild heights of Reunion Island, searching for his missing friend. Reunion Island has known slavery, engagism and colonialism. DAMNED! is an allegorical tale of the repression of this history, a scrambled, drunken, violent and complex song of diversity undermined by the weight of the past. DAMNED! is the echo of the inner torment of its main character but also of his fears, jealousy and desire for murder.

Reunion Island has known slavery, engagementism and colonialism for most of its history, "Cursed!" is the allegorical account of the repression of this history, the blurred, violent and complex song of diversity undermined by the weight of the past.
