Where are you?
Where are you?
I know you are here.
Come out.
You cannot get away from me, I will find you.
You've got the devil in you.
You've got the devil in you.
He's put evil inside of you.
Come out.
I know you are here.
Come out.
Come out.
Where are you?
You can't hide from me.
We have to release the devil.
Ah, don't touch me!
No!
Release him!
No!
No! Stop!
Stop!
Mommy,
Daddy,
help me!
Help me! Help me Daddy, help me!
Hi Grandmere!
Oh.
What are you doing?
First we build the altar.
Why?
Why?
When we live somewhere new,
we must make room for good spirits to come
and bad ones to go.
Mom says ghosts aren't real.
Mom doesn't know.
Well, Daddy says so, too.
Dad may not want to tell you but he knows.
We pray to our ancestors, not ghosts.
And we all have them.
You must respect them.
They will protect this family.
Can I try?
When you are much older, little one.
Grandmere, what's that?
This gives life to our prayers
and protects us from the evil eye.
We keep it close,
no evil can touch us.
Dad says you saw your mom killed
by a bad man in Haiti a long time ago.
And we have to be nice to you
because everyone knows you know .
That why you talk to ghosts?
Your father told you about Papa Doc Duvalier?
He told a little boy like you about that evil?
But...
Silly grandma.
It's my family and they do as I say.
Cheese!
Cheese!
No! Wait!
Grandma, you have to smile!
No, no!
Smile!
No! No pictures now.
Smile Grandma!
No pictures!
- Smile! - No!
No! No, no no no!
- Let me go! - No, no, no!
Mama!
She grabbed me!
I told him no pictures.
He takes them anyway!
He should show respect.
Mom,
it's a lot, I know.
But we all just have to give and take a little.
Rex just isn't accustomed to so much resistance.
We try to keep our interactions really positive and
we don't use the No word.
Should show respect.
Look, I know we do things differently but we love
our son.
We don't want him to fear us
or feel like he can't be his true self.
We want him to trust us and make the right choice.
We'd like you to respect that.
Why don't you take a picture of Daddy and me?
Say cheese!
Cheese!
This protects us from the evil eye.
We'll keep it close, no evil can touch us.
You must make room
for good spirits to come and bad ones to go.
What are you doing?
Mama! Rex was only playing,
- he didn't mean it. - No!
He destroyed the altar!
They will be angry, now evil will come!
Look, look! No protection!
