action
The film tells the story of Anne, a French immigrant, and the native Noeli in the Dominican Republic . Together with her boyfriend Yeremi, Noeli has been trying to earn a living on the beach for years at the expense of wealthier tourists. But her only constant customer is the much older Anne. While she hopes to get to Europe through the relationship, Anne longs for the love and security of a partner. However, when Noeli becomes pregnant unexpectedly by her boyfriend, her plan is shaken. As a father-to-be, Yeremi no longer wants her to leave him with his child, whereas Anne inevitably feels confronted with just being part of a plan.
background
The film is very loosely based on Jean-Noël Pancrazi's novel Les Dollars des Sables , in which a man takes on the role of Anne and has a love affair with the Dominican Noeli based on money.
Sand Dollars is the fourth joint film by the directing duo Cárdenas and Guzmán, who are also privately married and together run the film production company Aurora Dominicana .
