Ayiti mon amour

For the wandering souls. The best way we can carry on is by dancing to the music in our hearts. Three character stories combine in the sea, sunsets, ghosts, reefs, people, poetry and dreamy daily life of Haiti.

While the film moves at a measured pace, there is a grace in it that is not covered by the mainstream media. It is refreshing and intriguing to enter a circle of fishermen on the beach who are discussing the future of the ocean and to be in the middle of a graveyard without any names on the tombstones. Why are there no names? "We are all one family," said someone nearby, unscripted, who just happened to be caught on film. The film contains more of such magical moments, yet I wish there was more depth to other discussions. Seen at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.
