At the time of the French Revolution, beginning in 1789, committed revolutionaries were sent by the new French government to the Caribbean to incite revolution among slaves in the colonies there. This drama tells the story of three of these agitators, who have been sent to British Jamaica. One of them is an aristocrat, the grandson of a prominent rum manufacturer. One of the other two men is more radical than he is, and they disagree about methods when a black slave kills his overseer in order to incite a rebellion. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

In this Rumanian film, Ipu (Amza Peles), the retarded town outcast, befriends a young boy (Christian Sofron) during World War II. They play little war games in the deserted ruin of a nearby town. When an occupying German soldier is found dead, the local German commander threatens to kill everyone in the village if the guilty party is not brought forward the next day. At a lavish dinner put on just for Ipu, the boy's family tries to get Ipu to play the martyr. Ipu agrees to do this, provided the townspeople agree to take care of his estranged wife and his poor relatives. The fortunes of war cause the Germans to leave before anything can be done, and the contract with brave Ipu is forgotten by the villagers, but not by Ipu and the boy. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
