In Jacmel, Haiti, the opening of an evangelical church right across from a brothel triggers a war of morality in the neighborhood. At the heart of this conflict stands Marie Madeleine, a sex worker struggling to survive and preserve her dignity, who unexpectedly befriends Joseph, the pastor's son forced to hide his homosexuality. Caught between religious injunctions, patriarchal violence and social stigma, the two of them carve out a secret space where they can exist as they are, away from prying eyes, and slowly invent their own rules of the game.
