Men and mainly women from Africa are preparing themselves to the most important step of a very specific asylum procedure: to convince by telling their personal story that they are homosexual and they have been persecuted for it. But it's not simple to find the right words to describe what happened to them and to persuade the jury of the authenticity of their story. Evening after evening, with the help of volunteers of an association, they try to reconstruct their life and love stories in order to confront them to the French administration.
