Parsley

Dominican Republic 2022 Fiction Cor 83 min

In 1937, near the border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, Marie, a young Haitian woman, expects her first child with Frank, her Dominican husband. Despite rising racial tensions in the area, Marie and Frank are living a peaceful life. One night, she is awakened by distant screams and Frank rushes out to investigate. The immediate execution of all Haitians in Dominican soil has been ordered by dictator Rafael Trujillo, and what seals a victim’s fate is how they pronounce the word “perejil” (parsley), an indicator of where they are from. Marie takes off to find Frank in the next town over, with nothing but the clothes on her back. Alone in the mountains, 9 months pregnant, and with nowhere to hide, she must make her way through the dense hinterland before the massacre catches up with her.
