Early 80s Haiti lives under the dictator Baby Doc Cup. Nevertheless, the country remains a popular tourist destination. The hotel "La Petite Anse", set on the beach in the suburbs of Port-au-Prince is a true tropical paradise around which a group of young boys who exchange their charms and their love against some favors, a good meal sometimes a few dollars ... and especially a little affection and calm. Two American clients of fifty years, a lot of tenderness and sex, have their lives disrupted by the true passion of love they experience one and one for Legba, eighteen years at most and handsome as a god, they come back here every year. "Heading South" described their desire, their rivalry, but also their difficulty to take into account the extremely harsh social reality that surrounds this small paradise in which they are confined. Until the end, Legba remain inaccessible to them. Their desire will not be enough, they will always be tourists.
