Plot

Haiti, 1962: A man is brought back from the dead only to be sent to the living hell of the sugarcane fields. In Paris, 55 years later, at the prestigious Légion d’honneur boarding school, a Haitian girl confesses an old family secret to a group of new friends - never imagining that this strange tale will convince a heartbroken classmate to do the unthinkable.

Sinekatalog’s take

A Haitian girl at an elite Paris school shares an old family secret that links to the past of zombification. The film blends history, horror and teen drama in a slow, elusive way. An unusual, thoughtful genre piece for fans of art-house horror.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
