The film directed by young black female director Youzhan Percy won the Silver Lion Award for Best Picture at the Venice Film Festival. it is a work with genuine sincerity to explore black suffering and find solutions. Its background was in the French colony of Martinique in the 1930s. Most of the blacks on the island lived in shabby streets and earned meagre living expenses only by hard work for the French. At the beginning of the story, the plot was very weak, until little Joseph listened attentively to the old man's painful account of the black man's history of being sold into slavery, and the sense of mission of the film gradually matured through the young Joseph's point of view. The director filmed the process of their grandparents and grandchildren striving to break out of the shabby street. In sharp contrast to little Joseph, a mixed-race classmate hoped that after the idea of "black poor, white and expensive" went bankrupt, he would become a rebel in the society, but the foolhardy reformers could not avoid the end of tragedy in the end. This film begins with a number of faded black-and-white photos, which makes people feel quite distinct local colors. With the subtitle, "this film is dedicated to all the black compatriots living in the shabby street", the director even directly pointed out the purpose of her filming this film.
