Every afternoon Noelí, a young Dominican woman, hangs out on the beach
at Las Terrenas. With her boyfriend, Yeremi, they look for ways to make a
living at the expense of one of the hundreds of tourists there. However Noelí
also has a steady client, Anne, a much older French woman (played by the
incredible Geraldine Chaplin), who, like many other Europeans, has found an
idyllic refuge on the island to spend her last years. For Noelí, the relationship
is one of convenience, but the feelings become more intense as they plan
to leave together for Paris. A sumptuous and at times uncomfortable story
of friendship, love and survival, Sand Dollars is one of the most unique and
important films ever to come out of the Dominican Republic.
