"The people here are as damaged as their houses," according to Camille-Louis, a young Haitian psychologist. Since the earthquake, he has received dozens of people who suffer from an insidious disorder: loss of appetite, repeated nightmares, prostration, choking sensations, sudden panic... All the symptoms of acute post-traumatic stress. The phenomenon is widespread: children, teens, adults, no one is spared. The filmmakers followed a cross-section of Haitians, from all social classes. Care-givers were also affected. A documentary on an incredible trauma, that of an entire nation.
