The Tropic Sun and His Eyes

Description

A worn path leads through the Haitian landscape as a young man, Ruben, makes his way back to reconnect with his estranged father. Along the journey, he encounters a persistent street kid who refuses to leave his side. In an effort to establish some boundaries, Ruben agrees to a deal: the boy can stay if he helps find a shortcut while keeping some distance. The cast includes Stevenson Jean and Blangue Machiny as Ruben and the street kid, respectively. As they traverse the streets and neighborhoods, Ruben confronts not only his past but also the challenges of fatherhood and responsibility. The film is set in Haiti, where the dynamics of family and connection are brought to the forefront through their interactions.
