Bojangles

Synopsis

Night. A deserted New York bar, a lonely barman. A clown runs through the forest pursued by something he cannot escape from. A man enters the bar for a drink and the conversation leads to why he is there, tracking down old schoolfriends with the help of something sinister. Sammy Davis Jr croons away 'Bojangles' on the jukebox as the clown bursts in to the bar and promptly expires. 'Schooldays, best days of our lives - I'm not so sure - When Bojangles comes to call, the time for all apologies is gone, time to admire his sleight of hand.

Santo is a respected religious clockmaker and moneylender in his village. He exploits families in debt by using charm and kindness. When they cannot repay him, he persuades them to send their underage daughters to work as maids to pay off the debt. Ultimately, he sexually enslaves them and throws them out on the street when they become pregnant. His latest victim is Cira, an 11-year-old blackberry picker whose mother has pawned their home and land. After Santo's death, Maria Luisa, one of his victims, with the help of Fernando, his childhood friend and lawyer, fights for justice. After a long court battle, justice has finally been served, but not for everyone. Based on a real story.
