Ce film fait partie de la carte blanche de l’institut du monde arabe à Paris
Un court-métrage expérimental basé sur la divinité mésopotamienne gender fluid du même nom. Ishtar organise un festin dans un jardin de campagne anglais pour cinq frères et sœurs de couleur non conformes / trans / non binaires. Chaque invité détient l’histoire de ses ancêtres et de son moi actuel. Dans un effort pour affirmer leur existence historique et actuelle, le film se penche sur les connotations coloniales du genre et cherche à réexaminer la manière dont le Royaume-Uni a imposé le genre aux personnes de couleur.
