An unknown story of a Haitian voodoo priest, Amon, who visited the People’s Republic of Poland in 1980 with a group of Haitians invited by the theatre of Jerzy Grotowski. Here, his Polish roots were reborn. His ancestors, Polish legionaries, took part in liberating Haiti from slavery 200 years ago. Amon feels that he should pay his debt and do something for his second fatherland so he decides to stay in Poland. All is leading to martial law and Amon tries to change the course of history… A surprising view on socialism through the eyes of a stranger form a different culture.
