Cheryl, a young black lesbian, works a day job in a video store while trying to make a film about a black actress from the 1930s known for playing the stereotypical "mammy" roles relegated to black actresses during that period. This was the first feature film directed by a black lesbian.

Les Cinémas du Grütli

Une étonnante mise en abyme, où la réalisatrice propose une romance politique et un regard historique, interrogeant tant les amours interraciales que la place des lesbiennes dans la communauté africaine-américaine.
