Jazmin had long been estranged from her father Toussaint, a Haitian immigrant and drifter, when she receives a phone call from the hospital informing her that Toussaint is suffering from vascular dementia. Suddenly charged with caring for a man she hardly knows, Jazmin must reckon with an unresolved past while Toussaint’s illness abandons him in an increasingly baffling present.
In this captivating, heartfelt follow-up to her winsome debut The Amazing Catfish, Mexican writer, director and star Claudia Sainte-Luce sensitively explores the precarious terrain of familial loyalties, old wounds and fraught forays into reconciliation.
