Buckets

2008

A young Jamaican musician, Kamel is living on the streets. Playing the buckets is how he makes his money. He has a pregnant girlfriend, Tamarine. Together, they planned to move into a new apartment at the end of the week. Kamel gets carjacked and all of his money is stolen. His car gets towed just after telling Tamarine that the money is gone. Now, facing the prospects of losing his girlfriend, Kamel must engage a local drug dealer to make back the stolen money. Navigating the street politics is what Kamel knows, and today, his decision will represent more about his true self than ever before.
