Eden, uma cabeleireira afro que trabalha num salão movimentado, tenta ultrapassar as suas recorrentes dores de barriga cuidando delas sozinha. Sentindo que as suas queixas não são valorizadas pelos médicos, encontra algum alívio na medicina tradicional e nos chás de ervas. Mas quando a dor se torna demasiado forte, a sua vida diária torna-se insuportável.
Eden, an afro hairdresser who works in a lively parlour, tries to overcome her recurring stomach aches by handling them herself. When doctors fail to hear her, she finds some relief in traditional medicine and herbal teas. But when the pain becomes too strong, her daily life becomes unbearable.

Director’s Note
As a teenager, I faced a medical profession that did not hear me. One day, a doctor put a word to my pain: endometriosis. My relief was then mixed with a feeling of injustice: I was not the only one who had suffered in silence. I wanted to write a story inspired by my own experience, my family and my Baoule origins. Eden is a young woman who manages to overcome her pain for a while thanks to her joy of living, her strength and her entourage. I wanted to capture the pivotal moment when, exhausted, she no longer accepts being in pain.
