A quarter of Martinique's land is severely polluted. There is only one reason for this: the uncontrolled use, for several decades, of an extremely toxic pesticide, chlordecone, to treat banana plantations, the island's main economic resource.
How can polluted land be reclaimed? How to transcend colonial history? What future can we build when everything has been recovered: the legacy of slavery, family genealogies, natural resources, genius loci?
This film explores these questions with men and women, going to meet those who explore, rediscover, think about the power of resilience of plants and thus work towards a new future for their country.
Because this ultramarine territory is a microcosm, it is an observatory of the major environmental issues that we face everywhere.
