Description du film :
A black man and a white young boy are the only survivors of a ship that was sunk by a submarine. They barely cling to life aboard a makeshift raft, when suddenly the boy loses his eye sight. With little to no food or water, all seems lost until they find a small island cay. There they will form a bound that will help them to survive.
Based on the famous novel written by Theodore Taylor, dedicated to Martin Luther King’s Dream.
In 1942, during World War II, 11-year-old Phillip Enright lives with his parents on the Caribbean island of Curacao where Phillip’s father works at an oil refinery. German submarines begin to menace the islands, and Phillip and his mother leave on a ship bound for the United States. The ship is torpedoed, and the lifeboat Phillip boards tosses him into the water, where he receives a severe bump on the head. Waking from unconsciousness, Phillip finds himself on a raft with an elderly West Indian, Timothy, and the ship’s cat, Stew. Within a day, Phillip’s head injury causes blindness. The raft washes up on a cay where Timothy’s concerns about their situation and Phillip’s blindness lead him to teach the boy survival skills. Phillip struggles with his blindness and his ambivalent feelings toward Timothy. His mother’s teachings of racial prejudice are at war with his experience of Timothy as a strong, caring individual. A hurricane tests their relationship, and Timothy pays the ultimate sacrifice to protect Philip. Now it depends on Phillip to care for him after his injuries, until his death.
