A Martian rover explores the streets of Santiago de Chile. A dog, born in Haiti and called Courage, works detecting bombs at La Moneda, the governmental palace. Meanwhile, Petit-Frère Wilner, a Haitian immigrant, is being interviewed in a makeshift television studio. To interrogate exile and identity-in this case, that of the Haitian community in Chile-Petit-Frère uses a fragmented form, full of surprises and u-turns, that proceeds via displacement and free association. Guided by a Creole voiceover-the language that Petit-Frère uses for the news bulletin he publishes for his community-we thus enter into a dialogue, between the collective and the personal, the dreams and the reality of these first-generation immigrants, visions of the future and ghosts of the past.
