It portrays different cultural views on sustainable fashion consumption and the social issues around it. It tells the journey of a Senegalese woman living in Berlin where she studies Film. While working on one of her university assignments, she decides to create a documentary on Sustainable Fashion which led to her dreaming about the times she used to be bullied for wearing second-hand clothing. Through her voyage, she's giving her thoughts on the matter and interviewing people to find new perspectives. Towards the end, she confronts the bully.
