The film is comprised of intimate, close-up interviews with twenty-four Black French women who discuss the challenges they face in French culture, ranging from their experiences of casual racism, both personal and official, to racial stereotypes, cultural standards of beauty, and the experience of alienation and otherness. At it's core, the film resists the illusion of color blindness central to France's national self-image, and seeks to open up a voice or path to discuss issues of Afrofeminism and the Afrodiaspora.
