The epic love story of two people from entirely different worlds who must constantly fight against the outside forces keeping them apart.

Marie, a strong-willed and independent woman from the Chagos archipelago, falls in love at first sight with the strikingly handsome Gabriel, the newly arrived secretary to the archipelago’s Mauritian administrator.
But it’s the late 1960s, and Mauritius votes to gain independence from Britain. The inhabitants of the archipelago, a dependency of Mauritius, could not know that the Mauritius government would betray them. A secret deal with Britain means that everyone from Chagos will be forced to leave the islands, never allowed to return to home.
