Haiti in the 18th century. Three girls and three boys were orphaned when their parents were murdered in slave riots. The educator Villeneuve takes care of the six children and, following the teachings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau , raises them in complete isolation. They should be in complete harmony with nature and merge with it into a whole, so his intention. But this attempt on the living object fails grandly.
