This documentary film is told by Thérèse herself as close as possible to her thoughts. Her life is destroyed by obstetric fistula, a disease caused by work during childbirth not attended by skilled personnel. "La maladie de la honte" (disease of shame) is a journey into a world devastated by the illness of the main character whose remarks will be enhanced by the explanations of Dieudonné Zaongo, an Obstetric Gynaecologist.
