Steevens (21) es un Haitiano que lleva una vida simple y estable en Chile: con trabajo, vivienda, amistad y fiesta. Llega a Chile Junior (19) su amigo de infancia. Steevens le consigue trabajo pero Junior es desordenado y provoca que Steevens golpee al Jefe (50). La noticia se viraliza y Steevens es repudiado por su comunidad, sus amigos y por todos. Pierde sus papeles y su vivienda. Steevens busca por toda la ciudad trabajo, hogar y apoyo para reiniciar su vida, encontrándolo sólo al margen de la sociedad. (Cinélatino)
Steevens is a young Haitian immigrant living a challenging, but somewhat stable life in Santiago de Chile: he has a construction job, a home, friends, and fun. This precariously balanced life is disrupted when Junior, a childhood friend from Haiti, arrives in Chile seeking assistance from Steevens to establish himself. Junior has entered Chile without papers and doesn’t speak any Spanish. Steevens does everything he can to support his friend and even manages to get him a job with his employer. When an incident at their workplace erupts racial tensions and stokes a large anti-immigration sentiment in the city, Steveens loses his working documents. Now without a job, Steveens has to vacate his home and is left to wander the city, looking for a chance to restart his life beyond the margins of society. (Pragda)
