Set in early‑1930s Martinique, young José and his grandmother live in a cane‑cutting village where workers barely earn enough and the overseer punishes any mistake. José studies relentlessly, passes an exam and wins a partial scholarship to attend school in Fort‑de‑France. To afford the tuition, they relocate to the capital, hoping city life will ease his education.
