HAITI, France - 2017 - 52 MINUTES

synopsis

What does “being Haitian” mean today? How to overcome this stagnation at all levels in Haitian society? What is this “disease of the soul” that is eating away at this people? The director was born in a poor neighborhood. Today, at 31, she is an actress and director. Based on her personal journey, marked by her mother's mental illness, and her own quest for identity, she wants to offer a new perspective on her native island and its inhabitants.
