Synopsis: | a semi-autobiographical work, tells the story of a family oppressed and depressed by traumas historical, social and economic. The son, stricken by AIDS, sees oppressive figures, or "Shaduhs", which feed on the energy of his family members. Through flashbacks, we are shown the physical and emotional abuse that the family have endured at the hands of the father - all of this interwoven with the iconography of the "Loas of Voodoo", the symbolic representations of spirituality in the Voodoo religion. | |||||
