Summary :/I>
A basement in New York. Two Haitian fellow citizens. An unlikely duo. The intellectual and the illiterate. The political activist forced to flee to save his own skin and the relentless worker who has only ambition for his little life, his little family. These two men sharing this cavernous space talk about Haiti, their respective lives and their dreams. Pèlen-Tèt traces the journey of two men from two different backgrounds, rural and urban; but also of an era, that of the Duvaliers dictatorship. The urgency to exist, the homesickness and the frustration of the exiles. In this basement, Polidò (the intellectual) and Pyram (the worker) are doomed to support each other. Polidò, tormented by the demons of the dictatorship, drowns in his books and thoughts while Pyram, crushed by his frustrations, endlessly rehashes the memories of Haiti.
