              Departing from the title, the video establishes a divergent parallelism in between the wife of the Senegalese migrants’ and the Odysseus’ Penelope. The protagonist do not just take Penelope’s roll, but subvert it. Parallelism due the similarity in the long periods waiting for their husbands’ return home. Divergence because, here these women take the enunciation power, to tell us how they deal with their reality and they how negotiate with the social pressure surrounding them, that like in the Odysseus, would love relegating them into a second term.

              An Archives research and edit on several audiovisual documents from various sources dealing with the old Spanish colony of Equatorial Guinea, most of it created for information and educational purposes. Images that illustrate the colonial obsessions of the times: the idyllic image of Spain's civilizing task, nostalgia for imperial times, the sadistic element in the hunt for wild animals, the work of Christianisation, the militarization of a layer of the population in order to ensure the existence of “loyal natives”, the perpetuation of the African stereotype...

Despite globalization, we never see images of the white man working ... We see that he is in a hurry, but who cleans his streets? ... My grandfather told me that the white man He deceives us, tells us that we are poor, but we are not! What happens is that he only knows one level of wealth, the most basic, the most ephemeral and material ... For him, everything that is not visible is madness or superstition ... "

              The Presidents of African countries are the puppets of Europe: they don’t care about their people or their countries, if they did they would honour their sovereignty. We were born in countries where our own culture is relegated to the background. Our leaders have the power to build up their own countries but they don’t have the will. Those with the will to do it are murdered.

              A former industrial warehouse in Barcelona’s Poblenou provides a place to live and work to a group of people, most of them originally from black Africa. In this video, they denounce their living and working conditions, and the segregation and attacks that they suffer. And they give us a lucid vision of the society that discriminates against them: “They ask us be to be civilized, to become civilized… I ask myself, what does it mean to be civilized? To spend money, to buy things… to consume.

              L'escriptor Jordi Esteva torna a Costa d'Ivori per a esbrinar sobre l'esperit de la pantera que es va manifestar durant el rodatge del seu anterior documental "Retorn al país de les ànimes" sobre les creences ancestrals i els fenòmens de tràngol i possessió. En la pel·lícula, rodada en blanc i negre, amb el ritme d'una "road movie", l'escriptor assistirà de nou a una cerimònia de tràngol en la qual un komian serà posseït per l'esperit de la pantera i emprendrà la cerca de l'altra komian, en tota la Costa d'Ivori, posseïda pel mateix esperit poderós. El periple li portarà a la veïna Ghana a la recerca dels únics percussionistes que poden invocar a l'esperit de la pantera amb els seus ritmes.

              Shot in Cameroon and Brussels, Je ne suis pas moi-même explores the world of African antiquities and the contradictions in a European art market hungry for new tribal objects. Where do the African masks come from? What journey do these masks make before their unveiling in the windows of the biggest galleries or art collections in Europe? Who determines the economic and aesthetic value of these objects now that colonialism is supposedly dead' And then there's a continent called Africa, in need of economic resources and therefore willing to sell its cultural heritage or, if need be, to fake it. The authenticity of the objects becomes blurred when the people that once adored them start to sell them.
