Kouté Vwa

FromMaxime Jean-Baptiste

Year2024

Duration76min.

LanguageFrench

13-year-old Melrick, the director's nephew, wants to learn to play the drums and spends the summer with his grandmother Nicole in Cayenne, French Guiana. Memories of his uncle Luca, who was killed in 2012 and was a celebrated drummer, are awakened as his spirit seems omnipresent and lives on in the rhythms of the streets. In dealing with the painful past, Melrick searches for his own path.

In a sensitive blend of fictional and documentary narrative, in which members of the director's family play themselves, Maxime Jean-Baptiste links his own family history with the realities of a society plagued by continuous violence in KOUTÉ VWA in search of justice.
