Le grondement d’une rivière et le cri d’un grand calao qui résonne dans une forêt tropicale… Flora, une petite fille métisse de six ans, se raconte une histoire. Soudain la voix de sa maman, Hortense, la ramène à la réalité. À leur réalité : une vie modeste, pleine de tendresse, de moments joyeux partagés avec les tantes baoulées. Pourtant, une ombre imperceptible plane sur leur bonheur… Les souffrances d’Hortense, atteinte d’une maladie génétique, s’immiscent insidieusement dans leur quotidien.
The roar of a river and the scream of a great hornbill echoing through a tropical forest… Flora, a six-year-old mixed-race girl, is telling herself a story. Suddenly, the voice of her mother, Hortense, brings her back to reality. To their reality: a modest life, full of tenderness and joyful moments shared with her Baoulé aunts. Yet an imperceptible shadow hangs over their happiness… The suffering of Hortense, who has a genetic disease, insidiously creeps into their daily lives.
