Fake Promises - (Faux Promesses)

We all know that everything that glitters isn't gold but when it comes to fake promises from our fellow Haitians we fall for the same traps every single time.

One such fake promise, far too popular amongst the Haitian people, is the assumption that a broke man in America with a sweet tongue for words can actually do more for you, if you are a young woman in need, than perhaps to get you to bed, may be take you on a Walmart shopping spree :), get your pregnant, and hit the road.

This is especially true for young Haitian women fresh out of Haiti, who come, to America with great expectations, epi...

Yo monte sou resif!

This is basically what the movies is about but the lesson at the end will make you think twice before you decide to lie to another woman for sexual pleasures.

What is the movie about?

La Valeur De La Vie (The Meaning of Life) is a new movie about Sonia (Marie France Jean), a young, beautiful, but poor Haitian woman who fled Haiti by boat to come to America.

She is rescued by a humble Haitian family who decides to take her in from the refugee camp.

Leon (Roudy Joseph) who is a male gigolo, a 'Leon Dimanche' wannabe, and close friend of the husband, Albert (William Volcinus), comes into the house, promises Sonia the world only to sleep with her and take advantage of her.

One day, Ms Albert (Barbara Cajuste) discovers that Sonia is pregnant in the house. Having no clue that Leon has been secretly coming and going inside their house, she accused her husband of adultery.

This pregnancy will end up teaching everyone involved the meaning of life (La Valeur De La Vie), especially Leon when he discovers, 7 years later, that he can no longer have children and that Sonia may have the only child who can call him Daddy.

The big question is... Did she keep it?

Playing in New York in May

We've been told by the filmmaker, Roudy Joseph, that La Valeur De La Vie will be playing on May 30, 2009.

Stay tuned to Belfim for more info, we are waiting for the official announcement Via Belfet.com - The Haitian Internet Events Database.
