Sinopse
French men and women, who were born in France and who are perceived as being non-white (i.e. seen as Black, Arab, Asiatic or mixed...) address a “filmed letter” to someone of their choice, to talk about what it means for them to have to deal with their colour in today's France. Intimate and/or social experiences of racial assignment have left them with memories, emotions, wounds, questions... but the obstacles that they have had to overcome and the strategies that they have invented to do so, have also given them strength.
