Dutiful middle-aged Haitian demolition worker Xavier is outgrowing the Little Haiti home he shares with his wife Esperance – a seamstress and school crossing guard – and their millennial son, Junior, who keeps his standup comedy aspirations from his father.

Xavier has remained loyal, hardworking, and well respected for decades. But as the demolition sites inch closer to home, the realities of gentrification come into focus, and Xavier’s loyalties are tested.

In director Monica Sorelle’s incredible feature debut, she has crafted a unique and vibrant film that tackles many of the issues Miami faces today, including gentrification and economic challenges.
