In the suburban backyard of the director’s childhood, this fabular documentary tells the story of Dona Zizi, a Black woman of Indigenous descent who became the leader of her territory after marrying a blue-eyed man. Through photographs, archival footage, and staged scenes, the film reflects on time, memory, colonial wounds, and the ghosts of a tree symbolizing a perhaps impossible eternity.
