Aimé Césaire's Cahier d'un retour au pays natal is an outstanding work; internationally acclaimed, it addresses the heart of our century's problems. We are dealing with a world-book, both patrimonial and still fiercely topical. The symbol of identity of negritude, called by André Breton as the "greatest poem of the 20th century," it presents a major challenge to a filmmaking imagination. The film's main character, "The Man Who Comes Back", raises questions during his travels to his homeland, about his slave origins, his condition as a black man uprooted by other men and his role in the "community of the humiliated."
