In a small West Indian village, Siméon, a music teacher and Isidore, his star disciple, a mechanic by necessity and guitarist by passion, shared the same ambition, an impossible dream — to put their island on the world’s music map with Zouk music. Orélie, Isidore’s ten-year-old daughter helps him in his endeavors, by bringing Simeon back to life, after the drunken rum lover fell from his tree house trying to get close to the full moon.
