CGiii Comment

An unwanted pregnancy, triggers the journey into adulthood for Makenya, a Dominican-Haitian teenager who lives in the Batey, a community surrounded by sugarcane fields.

A serpent appears in her path. It is the embodiment of The Mysteries, entities that guide her towards recognizing her earthly power and her awareness in a parallel and Afro-futuristic dimension.
