In Haiti in 1962, a man returns from the dead and is condemned to a brutal existence in the sugarcane fields. Decades later in Paris, a Haitian student shares a family secret with classmates, drawing a grieving friend toward a dangerous act.

My take

You may enjoy this patient, culturally aware supernatural drama if you appreciate unsettling atmosphere and folklore, but it is Not for you if you need fast pacing or straightforward storytelling like Before I Wake.
