Synopsis

August 25th is the Communion Day of Dan Wedo (Saint Louis, Louis XIV King of France) by the Voodoo calendar. It is the day that an aged and guilt-ridden Roman Catholic Priest who participated in the attempted 1946 purge by the Church of Voodoo practices in Haiti finds a cache of paintings and sculptures documenting the events of that time. The screen play is the story of the Church's attempts to secure and destroy the art work, a French art procurer's attempt to steal the works, a RC Priest (also a Voodoo Houngan or Priest) desire to release the works to the populous and the aged Priests' restless decision as to what he will do with the works: follow the edit of Mother Church or release them to the people of Haiti.
