In an Afrofuturistic future free from wars and discriminations, a young Black woman receives memories from our present and has to decide whether to inherit or erase the trauma of her ancestors. A hybrid film journey between an Afrofuturistic future and a documentary-style narrative of the director's life as the child of a German and a Tanzanian.
