Ham, son of Noah, was cursed for having seen his father naked: his descendants were condemned to serve Shem and Japheth, Noah's "good" sons. Cush, son of Ham, is the ancestor of the Negroes. His children will carry the curse of Ham throughout the history of slavery. Rouch adapts Julius Amédé Laou's text, a delirious dialogue between two women.
