- Summary:
- Haiti, early 1960s. Sarah is eight. In a ghost town, she lives threatened by Janvier, head of the 'Tontons Macoutes', lurking to strike at random. Hunkered down in the family attic, she invents games and rituals of her age. But she witnesses an incredibly violet scene, which would force her parents to flee the country leaving her and her sisters to her loving grandmother, Camille Desroullière. Now an adult, Sarah is troubled by her memories. 'It's just a bad dream, my darling, just a bad dream', her grandmother use to tell.
