COCOA BUTTER KISSES

By Joel Kandekore

Nine-Nights is a funerary tradition practiced in the Caribbean. It is an extended wake that lasts for several days. Solomon, a man haunted by his father and the twisted ideals he instilled within him. He is forced to reconnect with his successful older brother- Andre over the Nine-Night celebration. Solomon’s eczema begins to worsen as the tension between the brother rise. The film tackles themes of black masculinity and how the expectations of society influence how they are seen as a child to the men they later become.
