the option of Tiyo
Kirpianuscus29 April 2024
The streets of Haiti capital. Two boys. Their curiosity used by a gang. The venerable grandfather of one of boys preocuped to care about him in proper terms, against pressure of gang and the rigidity of teacher. For help his grandfather, Tiyo accepts a first mission. But moral education is more important than the needs. Unfortunatelly, not for his friend.

A slice from near reality of a place who, in some circumstances, rebecomes familiar , grace to mass - media.

Beautiful acting, simple story and bitter end.

More important, the remind, in proper terms, of venerable people educating their grandchildren after the death of parents . The beautiful job of Rolando Ettienne and young Personna Wilelensky are the main virtue of film, the scene of their dialogue at modest dinner being pure admirable.

The Haiti dilemna

Warning: Spoilers
Living in Haiti can be so hard that you forget you are alive. Every day is a fight.

The capital of Haiti is the Hell of the Caribbean, a hell that Tiyo has to fight every single day. With his friend Tiyo caught a disgusting deal between a politician and some gang members. The story is about having moral or not. How long can you suffer if you want to keep your integrity in this country like Tiyo many Haitians are questioning themselves about whether they should sign a pact with the devil or leave the country. Since 19070s many of them fled to country like USA and Canada for a better life leaving the rest in a profound agony.

Port of a Prince is a brilliant short movie that everyone must watch.
