Viceroy of Ouidah

In 1812, Francisco Manoel da Silva, escaping a life of poverty in Brazil, sailed to the African kingdom of Dahomey, determined to make his fortune in the slave trade. His one remaining ambition is to return to Brazil in triumph, but his friendship with the mad, mercurial king of Dahomey is fraught with danger and threatens his dream.

In 1812, Francisco Manoel da Silva, scapand de o viata de saracie in Brazilia, a navigat in regatul african Dahomey, hotarat sa-si faca avere in comertul cu sclavi. Singura lui ambitie ramasa este sa se intoarca triumf in Brazilia, dar prietenia lui cu regele nebun si mercurial al Dahomeyului este plina de pericole si ii ameninta visul.
