Chercher la vie

Sinopsis:

Presenta la vida de dos mujeres. Cada una tiene su propio medio de ganarse la vida. Una cocina en una fábrica, y la otra es obrera de esa misma fábrica textil, de modo que se ilustra la vida de la mujer haitiana.

Chercher la Vie introduces the viewer to two women, Anne-Rose and Rosemène, who each have their own particular way of battling through life. The former makes lunches in a factory yard in Port-au-Prince and sells her meals to the factory workers; the latter is employed in the same factory as a production worker making pullovers and T-shirts. Every day she buys her midday meal on credit from Anne-Rose. Through the connection between these two women the film reveals part of their daily work and the constant battle for survival that they lead together with other women in Haiti. Going beyond this, however the film shows at first hand the extent to which importing of North American goods has brought about the collapse of Haitian regional production and ruined Haiti's economic circumstances.
