Malpaso

Malpaso is a small town on the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Just out of town, twin boys live with their grandfather. One of the brothers, Braulio, goes to the market with his granddad to sell coal, while the other brother, Candido, looks after their home. He is kept away from the eyes of strangers due to his unusual appearance – he is born as an albino. After the grandfather dies, the boys’ life changes completely. In order to survive, they are forced to move to town where entirely different and harsh rules apply. Braulio must somehow protect his brother and he therefore tries to adapt to the reality. Candido, however, has always been a dreamer since childhood. He dreams that their father will return to them and everything will be alright.
