Director: Johanné Gómez Terrero Dominican Republic, Spain, 2024, 91'minutes Spanish with English subtitles

Starts on time - no adverts 

In a batey surrounded by sugarcane fields, a young Dominican-Haitian girl faces an unwanted pregnancy and an uncertain future. A serpent, embodying ancestral Mysteries, appears to guide her through shame, survival, and transformation. Blending striking imagery with spiritual depth, this debute feature by Afro-Caribbean filmmaker Johanné Gómez Terrero unfolds between the tangible and the obscured, where tradition, resilience, and the power of the unseen shape her journey into self-discovery.

“Johanné Gómez Terrero blends tradition and spirituality, the literal and the allegorical, in a beautifully made and deeply touching fiction feature debut” – Cineuropa

“a great rarity - a film from the Dominican Republic, which perfectly combines naive art and a menacing anti-colonialist message” - Sttyle RBC
