January 4, 2004, Haiti. Celebration of the bicentenary of the declaration of independence. For months, student and popular demonstrations protest against the dictatorship of the “Prophet”, President Aristide. Everything opposes Lucien, a student of philosophy convinced of the success of the demonstration to democracy, to his younger brother Little Joe, a thug recruited by the Chimères to suppress the march of students. This day will seal the fate of the two brothers.

Port-au-Prince, Sunday, January 4 is an adaptation of the novel “Bicentennial” published in 2004 by Actes Sud, from Haitian writer Lyonel Trouillot.
