The film tells a story of a famous French actor, a member of Comédie Francaise, who in 1877, together with an artistic ensemble leaves Marseilles to promote his repertoire in the New World. However, the ship sinks nearby an uninhabited island which have been ignored by all the maps so far. The only survivor is a man who undergoes changes while patiently and gradually mastering the island. The unhappy and hopeless man drowning in the dirt soon turns into a proud master who begins to govern the island as a sophisticated, tenatious and ruling colonizer. But one day he unexpectedly meets a young mestizo who violates the meaning of his existence and teaches him life in the wilderness. (official distributor synopsis)
