In 1934, the Portuguese New State displayed, at the Portuguese Colonial Exhibition, the ultimate symbol of its virility in Rosinha, a native of what was then Portuguese Guinea. The film questions the idea of Portugal’s so-called «gentle racism», by looking back at more than a century of colonial discourse.
