Description: "In 1982, at the heart of the Haitian diaspora of Miami, two young people, who would be fighting against each other in their country of origin, meet. Fatal, of modest origin, musician, student in software engineering has always had great difficulty to express himself in French. Felicia, a wealthy student and medical student, has been speaking French since she was a child. She thinks that this language is unavoidable in Haiti for those who want to participate in the development of the country. The Franco-Haitian-American club in Miami, where the only language is French, is a formidable place for a young man who does not speak that language. To go too much there, it risks to burn the wings there. And it is trying to speak French to impress Felicia that the young man is misled and becomes the laughingstock of the members of the club, and what is more, in the presence of the one he wished so much to impress. Whoever suffers the ignominy because of his lack of culture, which definitely turns his back on the French and his speakers, will he know, despite his disability, to be loved by a girl from which it is separated by a ditch? huge? Will this young woman, kneaded with altruism, know how to substitute passion for compassion?"--Page [3] of cover.
