Haitian Corner
Joseph, un poeta haitiano exiliado en Nueva York tras sufrir prisión y tortura bajo el régimen de los Duvalier, intenta reconstruir su vida. Su rutina se centra en la librería "Haitian Corner", punto de encuentro de la diáspora. Un día, cree reconocer a su antiguo torturador en la ciudad. Consumido por la obsesión de vengarse, Joseph se ve atrapado entre el deseo de justicia y la necesidad de seguir adelante. Haitian Corner explora las cicatrices invisibles del exilio y la lucha interna entre el pasado y la posibilidad de un nuevo comienzo.
