Ce documentaire, tourné en Haïti, décrit un groupe d'homosexuels et travestis, dans un contexte donné : le Vaudou (vodou). La mise en relation de ces deux mondes conduit le spectateur dans un univers symbolique particulier, où les non-dits de la société civile donnent à s'exprimer, parfois dans la plus grande extraversion et théâtralité, parfois avec une émotion profonde. Une émotion qui reflète la quête de sens et de reconnaissance d’individus marginalisés dans un pays où l’évocation de l’homosexualité, et qui plus est du travestissement, reste encore tabou.
