Documentary follows Zalika Souley, pioneering Nigerien actress whose groundbreaking roles in 1960s–80s African cinema made her famous yet led to social stigma as audiences conflated her with on-screen prostitutes or adulteresses. Now living modestly in Niamey, she reflects on her career, memories, and challenges. Her story parallels the rise and struggles of Niger’s nascent film industry and illuminates the evolving status of women in modern African society.
