The Last Meal | Maryse Legagneur
2024 | 1h50 | Drama

Reynold se meurt d’un cancer de l’estomac. Il utilise le prétexte des derniers repas pour les partager avec sa fille Vanessa qu’il n’a pas vu depuis 20 ans. D’abord hésitante, Vanessa accepte de revoir son père. Au fil des repas, un rituel s’installe, les mets traditionnels agissent comme réminiscence du passé. Vanessa découvre qui est véritablement son père : un homme aimant dont la dictature avait durci le cœur.

Reynold is suffering from terminal stomach cancer. Before the inevitable, he has a chance of repairing his relationship with his long-estranged daughter. The story unfolds as he savors Vanessa's efforts to recreate his favorite dishes from Haiti, and Reynold relives his experiences in his native country - including his brutal incarceration.

A powerful story of the traumas suffered by Haitians during the Duvalier regime and their long-lasting effects on families.
Screening will be followed by a Q&A with the Director (online).
