Logline
This story follows my intrusion into the sexual lives of 3 generations of Traoré women, to talk about our pleasure after the genital mutilation we underwent. It is a family therapy that I subtly impose on my 5 sisters, my nieces and my mother, with whom I lead, construct and direct this story.
