Calypso Rose is an ambassador of Caribbean music, a living legend, a charismatic character, the uncontested diva of Calypso Music, often compared to great black singers such as Aretha Franklyn, Myriam Makeba and Cesaria Evora.

From Paris, New York, Trinidad ,Tobago to Africa at Ouida Africa - in each place, we learn a little more about the many faces and facets of her existence.

This road movie is not only about memory, the exchange and discovery of world cultures but also the journey of a militant and authentic woman, an Afro-Caribbean soul, an exemplary artist, far from the glitz and glitter.

Moving along the thread that links her universe with the world, we experience the dreams and disappointments of this amazing female artist. But more specifically, it is by carrying us with her on this intimate journey that Calypso Rose transmits to us the pulse of her life.
