Summary/Abstract: A reportage about the situation on Haiti after the tragic earthquake of January 2011, which levelled all symbols of power. Ministries, tribunals, UN Armed Forces and police headquarters, two cathedrals – all tumbled. The tragedy affected everyone. People, however, rapidly abandoned hope that the cataclysm would be followed by a great reshuffling of cards, a radical transformation of the prevailing system, and that a new and better Haiti would arise out of the rubble. On the anniversary of the earthquake, 800 000 people still lived in tents deprived of water and electricity. Having filmed the official ceremonies, television crews from all over the world switched off their equipment and left.
