Synopsis of the documentary "Le Bouillon d’Awara" :

It is an European place of law, American of continent, Caribbean of geopolitical area, which lives an astonishing experience of integration : French Guiana, French department of America. For a long time, Guyanese Creole was a "broth" (bouillon) in which the immigrant fell to melt, bringing new flavors to the dish. Confronted for 20 years to accelerate migration, Creoles of Guyana, yesterday a majority, are reduced to the status of minority group among others. How does the Guyanese identity come together ? Guyana is a multicultural construction laboratory, full of lessons for other places... In Mana, a little Guyanese village of 1,500 inhabitants, Amerindians, Europeans, Creoles, Black-Maroons, Surinamese, Hmongs and Brazilians tell the story of... the broth of awara, a kind of pot-au-feu based on awara, fruit of a common palm in French Guiana, which the Creoles prepare on Easter Monday. It is said that whoever eats it that day will never leave Guiana again, or that he will surely come back if he has to leave.
