action

The self-image of many African women seems to be disturbed as they are increasingly trying to get a lighter skin color, encouraged by the media. For this ideal of beauty, women accept severe pain.

Reviews

“Light skin as an ideal of beauty seduces many girls and women in Africa into painful attempts to change their appearance. The film, which was also shown in the children's and youth film competition, stages the state of insufficiency in an exciting mix of collage, animation and dance. He cleverly addresses the racist causes of the feeling of inferiority and their consolidation through today's media. "
