Destroyed in the devastating earthquake that brought the capital of Haiti to its knees on January 12, 2010, the Cathedral of Port-au-Prince was one of the most important and symbolic edifices in the entire country. It is in the neighborhood of the Cathedral that the city of Port-au-Prince was founded in 1749 and in the old cathedral, on that same square, that one of the main leaders of the Haitian revolution Jean Jacques Dessallines was crowned emperor of Haiti in 1804. This one hour poetic documentary is a cinematic metaphor on the reconstruction of the Haitian self. "Those broken stones are an allegory of the Haitian soul, which suffered an unbearable shock on January 12." Pierre Clitandre, Haitian writer and Painter.
