Synopsis
Haiti. An exploration of race and gender. A group of black boys walk across a parched landscape and into a grand chateau. There they are cleaned up and clothed in new suits. Afterwards, they are brought to meet their hostess where they must endure her pale, trembling hand touching their dark skin. And what follows is a round of surreal and sober games.
