Film Synopsis

Agathe Cléry is the epitome of the modern, high-powered business woman.  A marketing director for a leading brand of cosmetics, she may be good at her job, but she is loathed by her colleagues, not least because she is an unapologetic racist.  She gets her just deserts when, one day, she wakes up and finds that she has contracted a rare disease that has turned her skin black.  First Agathe loses her job, then her fiancé, and she soon becomes a victim of racism herself.  She begins to see the world from a whole new perspective...
