Trama
Cheryl, a young Black lesbian filmmaker in Philadelphia, embarks on a project to uncover the life of The Watermelon Woman, a Black actress from the 1930s who played 'mammy' archetypes in films. As Cheryl investigates, she discovers that the actress, Fae Richards, had a long affair with Martha Page, a White female director during the Harlem Renaissance. Meanwhile, Cheryl becomes romantically involved with Diana, a White woman, which strains her friendship with Tamara, her best friend and coworker at a video store. Through her discoveries about Fae's life and her own experiences, Cheryl comes to new realizations about her identity and the film industry.
