To celebrate her son's return home after years of exile, Dianira Fontoriol (aka ';Popa Singer')an indomitable mother armed only with her sewing machine and her personal convictionsdetermines to resist in her own way the infamous Ubu King of the Tropics: Franois ';Papa Doc' Duvalier.

Combining colorful fantasy and biting social satire, it is a deeply personal and singularly artistic take on an infamous chapter in Haitian history.
