Miryam Charles has the rare and precious gift of knowing how to create improbable universes of an incredible richness from disparate elements captured during her travels. Here: a castle in Scotland, children's games, the waves of a small coastal village in the Caribbean, an ancient cemetery… She thus solicits reality to feed her imagination and translate through the power of cinema her own questions about immigration, family ties and the feeling of belonging.

Lulled by soft Creole tunes, Song for the New World is a true waking dream where the Old and the New World converge, calling for contemplation and the nostalgia of exile.
