Be transported to an isle pulsating with joy, passion, danger, adventure and fantastically fusing folkloric and Broadway beats!

Synopsis

Ti Moune, a peasant girl, rescues Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of the island, with whom she falls in love. Unbeknownst to Ti Moune, the pompous gods who preside over the island make a bet with one another over which is stronger - love or death. The stakes? Ti Moune's life.
