钦达斯是佛得角其中一个最受喜爱的女性，尤其是当她于1998年在本地报纸上表明自己的变性人身份后。从那时起，她的名字成为了当地人用来称呼“佛得角”同志的字眼。虽然她十分有名，但她一直保持低调，每个下午她都很快乐地到访邻里，向他们销售最好的“鸡肉包”，一种传统巴西小吃：美味的炸鸡球。但每到二月，所有事情都会改变。这是当地嘉年华前的一个月，岛上节奏缓慢的气氛变得忙碌喧嚣，熙熙攘攘。嘉年华的前一天更是繁忙，当地人合力从零开始创造一些漂亮的东西。那里成为了“小巴西”—他们最为赞赏的歌手“赤脚歌后”（Cesáriaévora） （1941 - 2011）认为其中一首最受欢迎的morna歌曲。这部纪录片就像一趟旅程，带观众认识非洲未知、从未想像过的一面。

年轻的黑人女导演尤占·帕尔西执导的影片，获威尼斯影展最佳影片银狮奖，是一部真正具有诚意探讨黑人苦难和寻求解决办法的作品。其背景设在一九三十年代的法属殖民地马提尼克岛，岛上的黑人大多居住陋街，仅靠给法国人作苦工赚取微薄的生活费。故事刚展开时，情节性相当淡薄，直至小约瑟专心听老人沉痛地讲述黑人被贩买为奴的历史时，本片的使命感方透过小约瑟的观点逐渐发展成熟。导演将祖孙二人力争闯出陋街的过程拍得相当真切动人。与小约瑟形成鲜明对照的是一位混血儿同学，寄望“黑贫白贵”的想法破产后，成为社会的反叛者，可是，有勇无谋的改革者最终无法避免悲剧的下埸。本片以多张褪色的黑白照片作片头，让人感觉到相当鲜明的乡土色彩。导演以字幕“谨以此片献给所有住在陋街的黑人同胞”，更直接点出她拍摄本片的题旨。
