Reynold is dying from stomach cancer.
Gradually unable to eat normally due to his condition, he resigns himself to starving to death. Grim memories surface of how he had cheated starvation once before as a prisoner in Fort-Dimanche Prison. The last meals that he can still eat provide an opportunity to share these memories with his daughter Vanessa, who he has not seen for 20 years.

At first reluctant, Vanessa finally agrees to go to see her father. With the help of her aunt, the owner of a Haitian grocery store, she prepares Haitian dishes for her father.

Over the course of these meals, a ritual develops at Reynold’s bedside as each traditional dish from his youth sparks a memory from his past. He opens up and tells his daughter for the very first time about the abuse that he suffered and, so, frees himself from a heavy burden.

And Vanessa discovers her father’s true nature: a loving father whose heart was hardened under dictatorship.
