Počevši sa informacijom da je njen otac koji je bijelac rođen u Africi, a majka koja je crna je rođena u Evropi, rediteljka nam otkriva kompleksnu istoriju njene porodice, od vremena kolonijalizma do njenog ličnog iskustva međurasnog para u Evropi u ‘50-im i ‘70-im godinama.
Starting from the observation that her father who is white was born in Africa, and that her mother who is black was born in Europe, the director reveals the complex history of her family, from colonialism to their experience of the interracial couple in Europe in the 1950’s and 70’s.
