A film by Jonas d'Adesky

category : Completed, Feature Films

Synopsis

Vitaleme, Pierre and Mikenson are twelve years old and live in a boarding school in Port-au-Prince. They are friends and do everything together. Vitaleme is haunted by his memories as a child servant and obsessed by the idea of freedom. He tries to convince his two friends to leave the boarding school and live as they please.

When the town is struck by an earthquake, all three of them find themselves on the street. They try to find somewhere to live, and in various ways get by on petty crime. They play football to fill up their free time. Little by little they build a new life for themselves. Now that he is free, Vitaleme is no longer haunted by his past, until he finds himself separated from his two friends due to an accident.
