Produktbeschreibung

Love has obligating power. Against the backdrop of Haitian culture and civil unrest, a single mother and her teenage daughter arrive in 1993 just as political violence escalates. As Director of a non-profit organization, Charlotte hopes to find a new sense of purpose and restore her relationship with her daughter. Yet nothing unfolds as she expects. In the city, lively street boys win her over, but they have desperate needs. In caring for them, they come to depend on her, and she, in turn, comes to relish their banter and humor, forming a deep bond. When the paramilitary plans to assassinate them, Charlotte must choose between walking away or rescuing them at her own peril. In the countryside, spreading hunger derails economic programs, leading her to launch a massive food program. At home, Charlotte and her daughter re-discover each other.
