The Coruskan

Gito is a happy man. He lives in Cilaos, a small village perched at an altitude of 1,200 meters in the heart of the mountainous cirque with the eponymous name. He grows lentils and vines and has the best yields in the entire circus because he loves what he does. When his father dies, he will have to manage the inheritance of several hectares of land, creating jealousies in an environment where land is rare. He worries the whole village by evoking the idea of giving land to farmers who would agree to take up organic farming as he and his father practice it. It is a “revolutionary” and poorly understood approach. At the age of fifty, he will also have to “discover” life and its complexity. The friendly trio he forms with his two childhood friends, Hilaire and Ann, will be undermined by the birth of a love triangle between them, not always well lived in this small village in the highland of the island. O Death, old captain, it is time! Let us weigh anchor! This country bores us, O Death! Let us set sail! If the sky and the sea are black as ink, our hearts, which you know, are filled with rays! « Les fleurs du mal » Charles Baudelaire.
