Beautiful and (so far) unique

According to the director, this is the first feature length film shot entirely in Haiti and by suffering the tough conditions, electricity shortages (and no electricity at all at one key location) and a cast of first-time actors, he has produced something quite beautiful.

A story of a crazed man who imagines himself to be the reincarnation of King Christoph (the first "king" of Haiti, a former slave who headed the world's first ever black republic after the world's only successful slave revolt), it stands as an allegory of the island's own history of heroic glory followed by dismal poverty.

Short but very sweet, it is worth watching alone for the colourful imaginary, which the island, its people, its culture and Voodoo religion, bring.
