Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Set in his native Haiti, director/screenwriter Michaelange Quay's sophomore feature is a poetic, taboo-shattering meditation on the flow of power between black and while centering on a pale woman (Sylvie Testud) 's bizarre relationship with numerous dark-skinned children. As a group of young black boys slowly filter into the chateau of a ghostly French woman, the ritual that follows offers a haunting meditation on Haiti's colonial legacy.
