Review

Remy Gentil, a Haitian man goes to the Dominican Republic, searching for work. He was a professor and speaks 4 languages back home, but becomes a construction worker because of unemployment. The film is shot in a documentary form and introduces the reality of Santo Domingo. It makes us ruminate on ourselves in the midst of globalization.
