Who was Jeanne Barret, the woman who, disguised as a man, embarked on a world tour in 1767 with the Bougainville expedition? The film tells of her possible adventures and confronts this extraordinary fate with that of three women, a Malagasy, a Mauritian and a Mexican, today’s “sisters” of Jeanne, who journeyed in the opposite direction. This audacious film essay interweaves the narrative threads of their trajectories and makes us understand and feel all that is concealed by the anonymity of the term ”immigrant”. Precious stories frame the screen and are finally recognized.
