This film is the portrait of Delphine, a young Cameroonian girl who, after the death of her mother and the abandonment of her father’s parental responsibilities, was raped at the age of 13. She sinks into prostitution to support herself and her daughter. She ends up marrying a Belgian man who is three times her age, hoping to find a better life in Europe for her and her daughter. Seven years later, the European dream has faded and her situation has only gotten worse.Delphine, like others, is part of this generation of young African women crushed by our patriarchal societies and left with this Western sexual colonization as the only means of survival. Through her courage and strength, Delphine exposes these patterns of domination that continue to lock up African women.

[FCAT] Through a static image, a single protagonist and a single space, Rosine Mbakam builds a naked and complex vision of the drama experienced by many African women. The friendship allows establishing an intimacy that is very important, because Delphine tells a good part of her life and her condition as a woman, showing an absolute emotional openness that reveals intimate details of her life experience.
