Steve, a 25-year-old Black man from the Paris suburbs, seeks to escape the violence of his immediate surroundings by training to become an actor at one of France’s most prestigious drama schools. But soon he discovers that the theater world is only interested in having him inhabit “Black” roles.
From racist casting to financial blues, Alice Diop’s first documentary feature observes the obstacles that stand between a young Black actor and stardom. Critical of the ignorant French theater world, the film emphasizes the complex interiority of Black performers who are confined by stereotypes.
