Plot
The film begins with a quote from Boston Lervin, "As we know, life doesn't last forever, but the one thing that does... Is hope."

In 1891, in Versailles, France, a 27-year old Boston (Gérard Depardieu) quits his former job as he is underpaid, and departs on a boat to Jamaica, bidding his family farewell. Upon arrival, Boston befriends some natives and becomes a father figure to a homeless girl, even after she is adopted by another family.

In 1905, Boston, having been employed for many years, gets a job as a mechanic.
