According to Léopold Sédar Senghor, Léon G. Damas (1912–1978) was the first poet to truly embody Négritude. A cosmopolitan figure constantly on the move, Damas’s poetry blends vivid imagery and melodies with a sense of unease and sadness, deeply influenced by jazz and blues. The film features landscapes of French Guiana and the artist's own voice, showcasing the poetic documentary style that Maldoror often employed.
