There are blue eyes that can tell the depth of the ocean. Blue eyes that come from a canoe and a pith helmet. Eyes that vibrate voodoo, after family investigation, work on the body and documentary theater.
Fascinating story of Marisa Gnondaho aka Simon. Blue-eyed colonial love story between a young girl from Ouidah in Benin (her great-grandmother) and a colonial administrator (her great-grandfather). The story of a surname that is lost in the depths of the ocean, of bitter loves that replay a tete-a-tete between descendants of natives and descendants of settlers.
The little wives of whites, stories of black marriages, documentary theater that raises a lot of questions in our 21st century: what is a black marriage legally in the colonies? Or to descend from a settler, what does that mean?
