CASE DÉPART (Back to Square One), an explosive comedy about slavery, follows two half brothers: Joel (Thomas Ngijol) and Regis (Fabrice Ebou ) who, called at their father's deathbed in the Antilles, receive as sole inheritance the emancipation act that freed their slave ancestors. Not caring much about the document's symbolic value, they tear it up. As punishment for this act, a mysterious aunt decides to send them back in time to experience slavery. Catapulted to 1780, they're sold on the slave market. The 2 brothers will have to join forces, not only to flee the plantation, but to find a way to get back home to the 21st century.
Joël (Thomas N'Gijol) has just been released from jail and is an opportunist and abusive colored guy. On the other hand his mulatto half-brother R gis (Fabrice bou ) is the major´s obsequious assistant and likes to mistreat the persons asking for his help. Both brothers randomly meet in the Antilles because their father is about to die and wants to tell them about a heritage which happens to be the slavery emancipation certificate of one of their forefathers, which is torn by both rowdies. Offended by the behaviour of these guys, one of their aunts sends them to the past so that they will be sold as slaves and both will experience this kind of hardships. From then on an adventure will begin, making them change the way they live and how they conceive the world. Joël will show that he is a rebel and is sent to cut sugarcane in the fields and R gis will remain being servile, because his white half guarantees him menial tasks inside the kitchen. Being an intelligent slave that can read is no help when one questions the priest (Franck de la Personne) and makes fun of the foreman Henri (David Salles), and the whip is the remedy for such behaviour. When both brothers flee and are captured by the fugitive Cimarrons, who christen Joël as Polydor and R gis decides to call himself Jean Moulin (the man that unified Resistance in the 2nd. World War), solidarity is not granted when R gis utters that it is exaggerated to kill all white people. Nobody remains safe and sound of jokes in this film: the planter Jourdain ( ttiene Chicot) is a cunning guy and the cleverest of them all as well as merciless when he needs to be, his wife (Catherine Hosmalin)is frivolous and superficial; their blind daughter, Jos phine (Jos phine de Meaux) has a fine smell for Negros and is despotic, her fianc (Franck Migeon) is a pretentious bum, and the priest (Franck de la Personne) is a dumb guy who knows nothing about his own religion. The only positive character is the youngest of them all: Victor (Max Baissette de Malglive). What remains certain is that the brothers will be strengthened by this experience: Joël will get a job in construction and R gis will demand the major to be serious. But their daughters will provoke a catastrophe again
