Grainy Super-8 close-ups in saturated colors show three women of color during their morning routine: Showering, and rubbing, makeup and dressing, little rituals preparing them to face the world. From off-screen, their voices are heard: They talk about the relation to their skins, to their hair. About their gaze and those of others, their self-consciousness as women of color. Towards the end, they're shown in portrait-like angles: Just the way they want to be encountered by others. In between the intimacy of concern for one’s body and the thoughts revolving around how its publicly perceived emerges a space for the perception of a body politics which includes what's ostensibly intimate and private.
