Céleste is a brilliant girl. But her world came crashing down when she discovered her mother's lies. Oumou, known in the African districts of Paris for her cosmetic shops, is nicknamed the "woman-fire". Her daughter thought it was a tribute to her energy, before discovering that her red skin is actually due to a harmful product that depigs the skin. Oumou destroys her body to become whiter. And Céleste no longer wants to be the "precious black" of this widowed and mythicized mother.
