Synopsis: A chorale for several voices in the wake of the Haiti earthquake, this poetic and visually stunning work tracks several characters, including a teenager studying Japanese who is bullied for being light-skinned and a writer and his muse who are grappling with their identities.

Release Date: September 10, 2016 (Canada) | Length: 88 min | Genre: Drama | MPAA Rating: NR

Note: Premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Original cast list had the name Judith Jeudi. When I looked that up I only found a Haitian actress named Michelle Judith Jeudy. IMDB has her name listed as just Judith Jeudy. I’m assuming they are the same person.
