In this striking satire, we follow the story of an ambitious television screenwriter, Pierre Delacroix, who is desperate for an opportunity in an industry that feels increasingly stagnant and superficial. Struggling to sell his idea for an innovative show, Pierre decides to take a risk and presents a program that returns to racial stereotypes from decades past, hoping that controversy and criticism will make him stand out. What begins as an attempt at social critique quickly transforms into a nightmare, as the show gains popularity, but at the cost of perpetuating the very stereotypes it seeks to question.
As the plot unfolds, Pierre finds himself trapped in a cycle of morality and commercial success, grappling with the complexities of his identity and the impact of his work on the African American community. With the help of a talented cast of Black actors, the show becomes a media phenomenon, yet the repercussions are devastating, and the line between art and exploitation dangerously blurs.
The film is a brutal teardown of hypocrisy and racism in television, exploring not only pop culture but also the internal struggle of minorities in a world that often pushes them to the margins. With a bold visual style and a provocative narrative, the film serves as a mirror reflecting the reality of a society that often prefers to look the other way.
