The Protagonist, going by her first name, is presented to us in her natural environment: a jungle often sadly devoid of density. But today, she’s had enough! Being the mother, the secretary, the lover, the nanny, the sex interest of the main male character is no longer enough for our dear Protagonist. Put on “mute” after having used up the speaking time allotted to the female* characters of a film, she runs away with her buddy Voice Over, starting out on a new journey. All in good fun.

Salomé is a woman. Salome is making a movie. Does Salomé make a woman’s film? And first of all, what does that even means?

What’s worth remembering? Who decides what is worthy of remembrance? Through images shot at the beginning of the 20th century by women filmmakers, the director questions her references, what she has been taught and passed on. Between past and present, memories and omissions, the audience (re)discovers women who have made cinema what it is today. A sensorial and poetic journey that takes the spectator back to its own knowledge and personal and social constructions.

In film schools, on a film set, during the screening of their film, women encounter injustices, benevolent sexism, discrimination. They tell us how they decided to act, or why they could not react.
