On the first day of summer vacation, teenaged sisters M'Rose, Elle, and Célina step out into the tropical heat of their island home and continue their headlong tumble toward adulthood. Boys, schoolyard fights, petty thievery, and even illicit alcohol make for a heady mix, as The Zabime Sisters indulge in a little summertime freedom. The dramatic backdrop of a Caribbean island provides a study of contrastsâa world that is both lush and wild, yet strangely small and intimateâwhich echoes the contrasts of the sisters themselves, who are at once worldly and wonderfully naïve.
