L'HOMME SUR LES QUAIS

A small country town in Papa Doc's Haiti in the sixties. A period of bloody dictatorship during which entire families were wiped out, massacred... victims of an arbitrary regime. 8-year old Sarah's parents are forced to flee Haiti under Duvalier. Sarah's father, a discredited officer, entrusts Sarah and her two sisters to their grandmother. For the time being secure from the violent and impulsive Janvier, who is bent on revenge and dedicated to the new regime, Sarah creates a world of her own. A world full of fantasy, mystery and rituals. 30 years later, Sarah's memories of these years are haunted by nightma¬res, which recall a man by the shore that put an end to her childhood.
