After 200 years of Independence, Thompson The Great (Amboise Thompson), 
an octogenarian
believes that he can talk to Jean Jacques Dessalines, The father of the 
Nation. This film is about life in
a poor country with 200 years of Independence.

[Is this a variation on a theme of Royal Bon-Bon? Thompson plays the 
"joker" in that film]
