In the wings of the opera Maraina, voyaging between Reunion, Madagascar and Paris, the film recounts the story of the first settlers of the Indian Ocean islands. Written by a Reunion-born composer, Maraina is the first opera to be created in the region: the story of ten Malagasy and two Frenchmen who landed on this pristine island in the mid-17th century.
