The French countess and the Haitian rebels

Just for clarity, the last comment is the end of the story. I couldn't put it in one comment

As the revolution culminates in Haiti's declaration of independence, Éléonore must decide whether to return to France and her past — or burn her legacy and stand with the new republic.

Rather than execute her, Makonnen sees in Éléonore a potential symbol — a noble who might bridge old world and new. Over time, through trials, betrayals, and brutal truths, Éléonore begins to see the revolution through Makonnen’s eyes. Their relationship evolves from mutual suspicion to a fragile alliance and eventually, an impossible love that defies race, class, and war.

Caught between collapsing French power and the surge of African resistance, Éléonore's world is upended when she is captured by a rebel unit led by the charismatic and strategic General Makonnen, a former enslaved man with a complex past.

Naïvely believing she can bring "enlightened" rule to the colony, Éléonore arrives to find a land in flames. The enslaved population has risen in revolt, led by Toussaint Louverture and later Jean-Jacques Dessalines.

The movie plot The Countess and the Flame tells the gripping and emotionally charged story of Countess Éléonore de Valmont, a French noblewoman who inherits a sugar plantation in Saint-Domingue (modern-day Haiti) at the height of the Haitian Revolution.

The end of the story

Your creation inspired me so much, I asked AI to write a movie plot. The Haitian revolutionary war of independence deserves to be more known.
