Afibola and Olorum live in a house in downtown Havana. She is an afrofeminist poet, activist and queer, he is her eight-year-old son. Afibola sees her son's safety diminishing with comments outside the home. She worries that it is something he will always carry with him. In the intimacy of the spaces where they live together, they reflect on the difficulty of raising a black child in a racist and discriminatory society.

A being that has only bodily existence, an object used to satisfy needs and desires. On the screen, Lúcia preserves only a distant look that hides screams, fears and explosions.
