An intimate family portrait and cinematic collage of Black and trans collective memory and (be)longing that stirs meditations on safety, bodily autonomy, and generations of compounding loss.
In a fragmented, inhospitable world, a whispered voice and a butcher’s vivid account of breaking down flesh guide us through a surreal exploration of the body, its vulnerabilities, the oppressive systems that deconstruct it, and its quest for preservation and support.
An admixture of soca, noise, and techno accompanies a series of interviews where participants are asked: what would you do if you could have your revenge? This confluence of sonic alliances across Black diasporas investigates the potential of the call-and-response nature of Black sound for destruction and regeneration.
Riffing on the pedantic style of repeat-after-me self-help and meditation videos, the filmmaker addresses the viewer directly in this intra-communal call to self-determination and to renounce allegiance to whiteness.
