CHÈCHE LAVI
ABOUT
A lyrical portrait of two young Haitian migrants stranded on the US-Mexico border. The quiet, unexpected tenderness of their friendship shines in the eye of an incomprehensible geopolitical storm, even as the two men drift towards drastically different futures. A film about longing for a place to fit in, for connection and companionship. Not about crossing borders, but how it feels when you can’t. About what happens when you have to start over in a totally unexpected place.
