Cameroonian lawyer Alice Nkom is fighting to abolish the anti-constitutional order that makes homosexuality a crime in her country. Céline Metzler tells this exceptional woman's story and that of her protégés' daily struggles in a film full of touching confessions. Weaving many testimonies together, the film opens a window on contemporary Cameroonian society.

In Camerron, homosexuality is punished by 6 monts to 5 years of prison. But is Cameroonian society really homophobic ? What does individual freedom means in this country ?
In this film, through the life stories of 3 homosexuals and a lawyer, Alice Nkom, Cameroon appears to ba a country based on a strong traditional community with remains of colonial influence.
More than a value judgement, this film aims to get a better nderstanding of this society apparently homophobic.
