| It?s the early 80s. Although Haiti is under the control of dictator Baby Doc, it is still a popular destination for American and Canadian tourists. The hotel La Petite Anse, located in the suburbs of Port-au-Prince, is a tropical paradise where a group of young men exchange their charms for a decent meal and a handful of dollars. The lives of two American women in their fifties, desperate for tenderness and sex, are turned upside down by their shared passionate love for the handsome, barely 18-year-old Legba. But their desire, no matter how overwhelming it may be, is not enough, they will always be tourists, unable to understand the hard social environment beyond their little corner of paradise. |
