Porto Príncipe (Port-au-Prince)

Bertha is a widow and lives alone on an isolated farm in the mountains of Santa Catarina. Beginning to face difficulties in keeping the property running, Bertha is under pressure from her son who wants her to live with him in an upscale neighborhood of Florianópolis. Upon learning about the arrival of a group of Haitians in Santa Catarina, Bertha decides to bring the Haitian Bastide to work and live with her, fueling her son’s hostility. Living together transforms the working relationship between Bertha and Bastide into a sincere friendship between two people from different cultures who share common ideas and feelings.
