In 1937, young French engineer Jo Dupuche takes a job in Ecuador hoping for a better life. Stopping on a Caribbean island, he learns the mine that hired him has gone bankrupt, leaving him penniless. Trapped in the tropics with his wife, the couple must cope: she finds work through white settlers, while Jo is housed in a ghetto and begins a romantic relationship with a young prostitute. Shot on 35mm in Cuba in the late 1980s, this TV film offers an uncompromising look at colonialism, based on Simenon's 1934 novel.
