Overview
A film about the restavèk children of Haiti, who, because their own parents are too poor to keep them, must leave their families to live and work as full-time, unpaid domestics in other households. The camera follows the children as they go through their daily chores, which include an endless cycle of mopping, cooking, washing, sweeping, marketing, and doing errands.
