Synopsis
Haiti - a country where a Creole greeting goes "How are you doing? " - "Not any worse". A country stricken by a fatal earthquake; fatal not in the sense of the Richter magnitude scale but in the sense of the absolute devastation of the strangely cursed country revealed by it. The tragedy sparked a great surge of solidarity, everybody tried to help, the whole world was online between the ruins and the poor Haitians for a while. However, what is the country going to look like a year after the apocalypse? Will the massive humanitarian help have any impact? Or is the dysfunctional state administration riddled with omnipresent corruption going to get stuck in the old rut? Can this country be helped at all? The documentary is based on the stories of three Czechs who have lived there already before the tragedy and tried to help (especially the missionary Roman Musil) and several Haitian families who have had a first hand experience of the suffering. The film is further based on the personal experience of a man who has been to Haiti many times, was the first Czech to shoot for the Czech Television and has long-term personal contacts in the country.
