“Lost between the dream of flying and the call of the unknown, aviatrix Bessie Coleman travels the world, leaving her mark through courage.

As she crosses the ocean, she crashes on an island forgotten by maps.

This mysterious and unknown land is inhabited by a civilization deeply rooted in love and tradition.

The beyond harmonizes with their daily life, where life and death are regarded as the most beautiful offering.

Through their ceremonies, clothing conveys emotions, traversing bodies that oscillate between reality and spirituality.

Wounded but alive, Bessie encounters this civilization, shaken by her arrival. Initially disoriented by their warm welcome, she gradually connects with a world guided by traditional dance and song—a harmony of colors celebrating protective spirits.

In search of renewal, their craftsmanship intertwines with her garments, creating a union between the modernity of this woman and the benevolence of the people.

Each day on the island teaches her the importance of life: a return to the essentials of daily existence, where the balance between the sky she longs for and the earth that welcomes her becomes the heart of a resurrection. Her island life reveals a new dimension of flight: spiritual elevation.”
