The film looks at the intergenerational frictions within a Haitian-American family in a rapidly gentrifying Miami, exploring the desires and conflicts of three main characters: Xavier (Atibon Nazaire), a middle-aged demolition worker, his wife Esperance (Sheila Anozier), who works as both a seamstress and crossing guard, and their adult son Junior (Chris Renois), who finds himself caught between two cultures as he pursues a clandestine career in stand-up comedy. “ Mountains is a film created by a small team of South Florida and Caribbean locals out of love not only for Little Haiti and Miami, but for communities around the globe that are struggling to maintain autonomy and memory in a rapidly changing world,” said Sorelle. “Music Box’s place as a bridge between foreign and American independent cinema is a perfect match for our film, and we’re excited for the team’s great care and excellent eye to amplify the story of this family, and the spirit of Little Haiti.”
