“A quietly confident visual poem to Haiti and its turbulent history, Eat, for This Is My Body is a solid achievement in avant-garde ethnographic formalism.” VARIETY

synopsis

The lives of Ana, Verónica, Marta and Toro, four lonely people living through the routine and silence of the south.  They gather to eat, walk through the beach, take the ferry or simply accompany each other without needing to say anything.  In a way, they try to save themselves in a silent, furtive and extreme manner.  They search for love, sex, inexistent family affection, and their own space and time, not only to distance themselves from the loneliness that intimately constitutes them, but ultimately, to find themselves.
