At the beginning of the XXth century, five freedom loving adolescents from well-to-do families commit a brutal crime. Condemned to a repressive cruise run by The Captain, they mutiny and wash up on a wild island where pleasure and fantastic vegetation abound. The transformation can begin….A fantastic, erotic tale, luxuriant like a jungle, subversive as the confusion of genders. Bertrand MandicoFLAGEY – IN THE PRESENCE OF
