Ordinary folly of a daughter of Ham
Ham, son of Noah, was damned for seeing his father naked: his descendants were condemned to serve Shem and Japheth, the "good" sons of Noah. Cush, son of Ham, is the forefather of black people. His sons will carry the curse of Ham throughout the history of slavery. Rouch adapts the text of Julius Amédé Laou, a delusional dialogue between two women.
