Synopsis:

Historic drama about two young women in 18th century Suriname. The white Sarith and her slave Mini-Mini live on the prospering sugar plantation of Sarith's family. The constant danger of attacks by runaway slaves threatens the protected plantation life. While Sarith becomes embittered by the changing colonial life and the search for a husband, Mini-Mini gets her own chance of happiness. Is she able and courageous enough to seize it, at her mistress' expense? Based on Cynthia McLeod's book.

Set in the Dutch colony of Surinam (now Suriname in South America) in 1775, the story follows a family of Dutch sugar planters and their slaves. In the face of recession and falling sugar prices, the family experience upheaval and danger. Stark choices, matters of life and death, have to be made…

A period film about the personal stories running through the horror of slavery in the Dutch colony of Suriname.
