Delphine, a 30-year-old Cameroonian woman, sits casually on a mattress. With filmmaker Rosine Mbakam, she will “just talk as usual,” describing what led her here, to this brightly lit room in a Brussels apartment. Over the course of several different meetings, her story unfolds through an emotional recounting that reveals a life transformed by rape, illness, poverty and betrayal. She speaks through the camera to Mbakam – herself Cameroonian and based in Belgium – and vacillates in topic and tone, between lightness and darkness and with an intimacy that could only originate from a relationship imbued with understanding, confidence, compassion and respect. As Delphine lays bare the scars of a patriarchy which imposes its power over women through sexual violence and dehumanization, surviving at all comes to seem miraculous.
