I gave him a job to do.

He's giving me the runaround, trying to stress me out.

If he thinks he can mess with me, he's got another thing coming.

I'm not playing with him. I gave him a job to do.

I don't take pressure.

- Sweetie. - My queen.

- How was your day? - Not too bad.

The food is almost done. Why don't you go shower?

Krik.

Woy, what gossip do you have for me now?

Listen...

- I ran into Marie.. - Krak.

...at the market this afternoon.

She told me she saw Angeline's husband...

- Tony. - ...your friend,

at a party with a girl that's younger than Junior.

- And? Yes, and? - And?

- How does this concern you? Or me? - This is very bad.

We can't tolerate these things.

I've told you not to meddle in people's affairs.

- Talk to him. - To tell him what?

What am I supposed to say?

What are you telling me? You'd do that to me?

Well, start acting like an old lady and find out.

Let your body get stiff, you'll see.

Let a young lady pass by and see what'll happen.

So you think I can't do the same?

Love, I think you misunderstood what I just said.

Anyway...

As far as Tony...

I've known this guy since I was little.

He's like a brother to me,

but he is not a stand up guy at all, at all.

Well, when I was child...

Junior, didn't I tell you not to make all that noise in my ears?

Let go of me.

Come here, talk to me, sweetie.

That's what you like?

I'm well.

Stop playing.

For real?

Do you want sos pwa?

Be careful with that little guy, alright?

You know he's a troublemaker.

Well.

Why did they fire him at his old job?

Queen.

When I got off work this afternoon,

I saw this beautiful house for sale.

It would suit you very well.

But my love, what's wrong with our little house?

Ah, my dear,

there's too many renovations to do.

I'm starting to get tired of it.

I'm starting to get tired.

You don't see that the house is too small?

You need space, Esperance.

When Junior was little...

it wasn't a problem, but now look at how long his legs are.

The way I see it,

do you think Junior will ever leave this house?

Lower your voice!

Am I lying?

And let me tell you...

As far as the other house...

You'll have a room to do your sewing.

We'll have a big room

to welcome all our friends when they come.

We'll have a yard, love, to do our garden.

But how are we going pay for it?

And what about the cash that we're saving?

And your hand for the sòl is coming up next week.

Is all this overtime I'm doing for nothing?

Let's do a little dreaming together, love.

Let me tell you...

You'll have your own bathroom in the new house.

Our own bathroom that Junior will have nothing to do with.

What do you think?

What do you think Junior eats when he's out?

- Some "hol" dogs. - What?

- "Hol" dogs. - What's a "hol" dog?

The long thing that you put in bread.

- H-O-T - Okay.

I'm not the hot dog's mom or dad.

You hear me, young lady? Leave me alone.

Those things are not good at all.

What about that other thing? That other thing you--

Me?! What are you telling me?

Don't play with me.

Whatever religion you left Haiti with,

just the name Rara Lakay makes you feel.

It's as if they reconnect from this foreign land

with their home, with their country,

with the place they come from.

It's always a joyful experience.

People are dancing...

...but my wife cooks for me.

- Your wife cooks for you? - Yeah.

It's yummy.

Very yummy.

Your wife doesn't give you hot sauce?

Do you know pikliz?

Pikliz? No, sir.

It seems as though the oligarchs

are creating a war amongst our young brothers in Haiti.

Furthermore, where are these guns coming from?

Who trained these young men?

I'd like to know. Look at the situation now.

For me, I don't want to die in the United States.

I need to be buried at home,

near my family, near my friends, in my country.

Right now, I don't know the next time

I'll be able to see my country.

My daughter asks me every day

when she can go back and visit the country again.

I don't even know what to tell her.

You have to chill out, my love.

No need to make a big fuss.

If you don't cool down, you're gonna mess up what we have, baby.

So relax. Be cool, my love.

You know your husband loves you so much.

You have to relax. There's no problem.

Spend a little time with your man, sweetie. Have a seat with me.

How was your day?

It wasn't too bad.

I went to work.

Junior helped me at the laundromat.

What a miracle!

Where is he anyway?

He went to his show.

I have no idea what he's doing in those streets.

What does he see in that stuff?

He's just trying to make something happen.

Let's give glory to God.

We weren't able to do what he's doing at his age.

Sweetie.

Let him find his way.

Yo, come on, watch the dust, brother.

I've told you a thousand times not to do it like that.

I'm gonna set you straight.

Are you stupid? What's wrong with you?

Do you think just because you're my nephew

you can do whatever the hell you want here?

Don't you know that we have a contract with the county

and the Blacks need to be here?

Yeah, but you weren't there, Uncle.

Look, shut your mouth.

Don't tell me shit. You hear me?

Do me a favor and stop acting so tough,

because I'll fire you just as easily as I hired you.

And don't look at me like that, dammit. Don't look at me like that.

Do me a favor.

Do me a favor and get back to work.

Don’t let that Black stench get to you

I need you here. Now go shake--

Go shake Daniel's hand.

Hang on, hang on...

- My man, how's it going? - What's up? How are you?

I saw someone park at your house. I don't recognize them.

It's no problem.

- Well, I was looking out for you. - Thanks a lot.

- We'll talk, partner. - One love.

Say hi to your family for me.

You see what I told you?

You're on your way.

Look who's here.

Oh, brother-in-law. Look what the wind blew in.

- Love. - What's up?

- How was your day? - It went well.

You don't need to get up, my guy.

Okay, all right.

Love.

Where are you going with those dirty boots in the house?

- Put them outside. - Excuse me.

He works hard.

Everyone works hard.

It all depends on what you choose to do with yourself.

How are things at work?

Everything is all right.

There's a lot of construction sites in the upcoming months, so...

everything is solid.

Good.

Okay.

Sandra sent me a photo on WhatsApp.

I see that you've started digging a new pool.

I'm never done with the house.

I'm not the type of person that's ever satisfied.

You never have time to sit.

I'm not like everyone else... You understand?

Actually, there's a new house we're looking into buying.

Well, you know, when we're done selling the house.

Also, now I have a lot of clients, I'm selling a lot of clothes.

We have some cash saved up at the bank.

And... Xavier is doing a lot of overtime at work right now.

It's possible.

Pass me the hot sauce. Give me a little pikliz.

I like this part of the neighborhood.

It's cute.

Sweetie... here it is.

The fence is broken. You don't see that?

It's no problem.

That can help us bring the cost of the house down.

That's an easy fix.

And also...

I'm gonna plant a soursop tree for you there.

What do you think?

The iron on the door is beautiful.

- Don't you think? - I like the iron on the door.

What's wrong?

- Love, I don't see a thing. - You forgot your glasses?

Let me see...

Just sign here.

Ah, this room is bigger than ours.

Oh, look how big the bathroom is.

I love it.

Queen.

Love, come see.

Here's the sewing room.

What do you think?

It's nice, love.

It's beautiful.

We deserve this, little mama.

I'm with you, love.

The oven doesn't work.

The oven doesn't work? I didn't see that.

And the wall is broken.

Broken or cracked?

Cracked.

Who's that?

Junior, at this hour?

Anyway...

I was talking to Ti Noy yesterday. He said...

...they can lower the price for us

because of all the repairs.

Anyhow...

...but, Little Haiti is the base.

When things in Haiti start heating up,

Little Haiti stands up. You understand?

Little Haiti has always stood up politically.

It has always provided a response to situations...

Good morning, Pepe.

- Good morning, sis. - How are you?

Not too bad, how about you?

I'm well. Listen...

I have to go to a wedding next month.

Do you think you can make me a dress?

Of course! What do you want me to do?

I'm thinking something long.

Red.

Red?

It's a special occasion. I want to be sexy.

Look at you!

- And your family? - Good, by the grace of God.

I saw that business for sale over there.

Do you know what happened?

I don't know yet, but I can try to find out what happened.

- Manmi. How are you? - I'm good.

It's been a while since I've seen you.

- What have you been up to? - I'm here.

- And the children? - Well, we're fighting on.

Your dress is so beautiful.

Where'd you get that hat? I want one too.

You told someone that we're selling the house?

How was your day at work?

Well.

I bought a few pomegranates from the street vendor.

Pomegranates?

Would you like me to make some juice for you?

Sure.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Why don't you eat before you leave? I just made chicken.

Where do you have to go

that you can't spend time with your family?

I know at this time, you're not going to work.

This poor lady can't be working away in the kitchen, just for you not to eat.

You won't find food when you come back.

I don't understand that little stick figure.

Quiet down, love.

So, he steps out of the house this late everyday?

Saint Germain Church

is closing down this weekend.

It will have a concluding mass and festival

to celebrate 50 years in the community.

The church is asking all members

to go to Notre Dame or St. Mary's starting next week.

Okay. In other news, my friends,

Alan Cavé is performing this Friday

at the Little Haiti Cultural Center.

Xavier, I think we're late.

I don't believe so, sweetie. You don't see that everyone is coming in?

And you. You come to a communion and you wear these raggedy sneakers.

You need to tuck your shirt in.

Where's your belt?

You let him go out in the street like that to embarrass us?

We have a cake for you. It has chocolate in it.

What's going on?

Congratulations! Beautiful girl!

What's going on?

- How are you, brother? - We're here.

- I'm happy to see you. - Same here, man.

Oh, my God, this guy got skinny, man.

Look at this guy! What are you eating?

This guy eats air.

He's starting to look like a skeleton.

- Oh, sweetie, how are you? - I'm not doing bad.

What did you bring me?

Well, might as well put it in my stomach.

Whoa, whoa. When are you going to stop being so greedy?

The griot is for everyone.

A beautiful dress to the tenth degree.

- He's leaving, he's leaving! - Junior! Where are you going?

Ah, you could at least get his hair cut, man.

- He's grown. - He's got a mop on his head, man.

- What are you drinking? - What you got for me? Give me a beer.

- You'll take a Kenscoff? - Ah, you don't know about that, my man.

- Don't do that me. - That's a Boston thing.

Kenscoff is my beer.

How're you going to do that with gloves in your hand?

It's beautiful, isn't it?

And then you cover it with two like this and you'll be good to go.

Voila. Beautiful smile.

That's right.

Let's take a picture. You ready?

Do that thing again. Put both hands together.

Okay, perfect. We ready? On three.

One, two, three, cheese!

Okay, everybody! Come in, come in.

Come closer.

You all smell good.

Okay, perfect. Together...

On three. One, two, three, cheese!

Ladies and gentlemen, come eat, come eat!

The food is ready.

You don't have to worry, love. I'll help you.

Oh, child, this wind came for me.

Oh, here's Angeline.

Pepe? You're here?

How are you?

Very well, very well.

If I were any better, I'd be worse.

- Beautiful party, Maggie. - Thank you.

It would be the party that brought you here, Angeline. How are you?

Well, you know, I'm always traveling with my husband.

We just came back from Labadee. Oh, what a country!

You have to go see your country.

Where is Tony?

You know, he's always helping the youth with internships and jobs.

If you need a job, Tony's the one to call.

Well, anyway, beautiful party. My compliments!

Hey! Where are you going?

For Tony to come here and still be up to no good...

Here's my gift to you. I brought this for you.

Put it on that ear instead.

No, I like it better on that ear.

Mix it up, mix it up.

- How's work going? - The job's not so bad.

This week isn't so bad because I've been so close to home.

I can see that.

There's so many construction sites for me to work on around here.

That's what I see.

Which means... double six is up, fellas.

We're talking too much

But this is sad.

You'll have to tell the white folks thank you for me.

- Thank you for what? - What do you mean for what?

It's by chance we were able to do the communion this week.

You all are demolishing a church that's been here for 50 years.

- What church? - Saint Germain Church.

They're going to turn it into a health center.

- Isn't that the church around the corner? - Yes!

It's right in our backyard and they're gonna destroy it.

The community needs a church.

Talk to those white folks, man.

What do you want me to say to them? Tell them what?

Tell them what? Tell them to stop the demolition.

- A church, really? - Listen, man.

They give me an address, I come to demolish it.

And if they give you my address?

If the bricks are up,

I'll be right at your front door, ready to demolish.

You hear that, fellas?

Well, gentlemen...

But there are children here.

You were never young?

- But this isn't dancing. - Let them dance!

That's what they call dancing?

Wait, wait.

You pay bills?

What's going on here?

I told the boy to say no already.

He asked for the day off. I don't understand.

So you're telling me you can't stay and spend time with your family?

Look how red your eyes are.

You look so tired. You can't tell them no?

Well...

Ah, Junior.

You didn't finish college. You're smoking.

It's clear that you don't have enough money

if you had to leave your cousin's communion.

What'd you just say?

What did you just say?

And this is what you decided to do with it?

The only choice we had was to do what we knew:

put food in your mouth and send you to school.

Look at what you did with it.

What?

Let him do whatever he wants, right?

Get some rest.

I didn't realize I slept for that long.

It's always good to get a little rest.

That's what they say.

If work was a good thing...

the rich would've taken it for themselves a long time ago.

So true.

Don't answer it.

You don't own anything in this country.

Who was that calling just now?

One thing I love about you.

When you put your mind to something,

you don't look up until it's done.

But my love...

You have to see what's happening outside.

Open your eyes, Xavier.

You see this house?

This is a building.

Home is home.

Where's Junior?

When I was your age, Junior,

I was already married to your mother.

At the time, I was driving taxis.

My heart wasn't in it at all.

Driving up and down the city all day...

At times, I felt like I was suffocating in the car.

I met some of the worst sort of people.

And I didn't see how I was going to get out of that situation.

I used to ask myself what I was doing in this country.

Ah, back then I missed Haiti so much.

I didn't have my mother with me. I didn't have a house.

I didn't even have time for myself.

When you're in Haiti,

you have time to do whatever you want.

There were times that I would go to the beach

and stay there all day, until sunset.

And then I would look at the mountains very far away...

And I would ask myself:

"What's behind those mountains?"

Here, when you look outside, all you see are buildings.

In this life...

you always have to sacrifice something for something else.

I remember there was a time

I wanted to take you and your mom back to Haiti.

I thought about it and asked myself:

"What am I going to do to provide for you two?

What value would I have brought back to the country?"

I searched and couldn't find anything.

Then I realized, after all the sacrifices I've made,

I haven't benefited from any of them.

So, I decided to stay.

There were times that I'd look at you, Junior,

and I would tell myself:

"If only he..."

I'd tell myself: "If only..."

Junior... I want to tell you that I see you.

I understand you, my child.

I understand you.

My choices have always been limited.

And even with all that...

look at what I've done.

Look at what I've done.

The only thing I know is that...

if there's anything I can give you...

I know that I always let you make your own choice.

I always let you make your own choice.

Flaco! Go ahead!
