Summary: On the verge of a fever: Against the backdrop of poverty, fear, and the dictatorship of Haiti in 1971, a sheltered young teen's life takes a turn for the worse after a confrontation with a member of the Haitian secret police.Summary: How to conquer America in one night: Newly arrived in Montréal and determined to conquer North America by charming blond haired women, Gégé, a Haitian in his thirties, lands up at Fanfan's, his nostalgic uncle who has given up poetry for a good old taxicab and dreams of returning to his homeland. Over the course of one night filled with humor and friendship, highlighted by a party attended by twins Andrée and Denise, two Quebecers with contrasting charms, the two fun-loving guys take stock of their lives, memories and fantasies.
