A portrait of the poet, playwright, and visual artist Derek Walcott from Saint Lucia. Central to the documentary are two selected poems from Derek Walcott's work. These poems serve as a guide for Walcott's thoughts and feelings about his life and his heritage as a Caribbean man. The film features unique footage of Walcott in his personal surroundings and shows places that were meaningful to him during his childhood as the son of a single mother, after his father passed away at a young age.
