The Taste of Young Women, as would be the proper translation, is a very interesting story of a young Haitian boy, Fanfan, who has one unbelievable weekend. Fanfan gets mixed up in a bad situation and must take cover for a few days. But where he hides sets up the entire movie. He allows his friend Gege to get him into trouble, regardless of his mother's warning, and now must pay the price. The tale dives deep into the gang-like culture that had begun to take over in Haiti, with a humorous ending that changes the whole perspective of the film. A definite must see if you are interested in past Haitian culture and tales of coming-of-age.
