Synopsis:

From now on, mutilated women have hope - created by a French urologist, surgical restoration of the clitoris has become possible. Burkina Faso is the first African country where this procedure has been given official support and made available. However, prevalent societal taboos still make it difficult for women to benefit from it. This intimate and illuminating documentary follows women in Burkina Faso and France who have decided to proceed with the surgery. Over the course of several years, they testify openly and passionately about their fight to become whole, to become 'women entirely'. Their testimonies transform their individual struggle to a heart-breaking collective cry, begging the question: will the restoration of the clitoris one day become a recognised human right?

A new surgery is giving women who are living with the consequences of female genital mutilation the opportunity to proceed with surgical restoration of the clitoris. This documentary follows women from Burkina Faso and France who have decided to go ahead with the procedure.

From now on mutilated women have hope: a surgical technique of the restoration of the clitoris has been created by a French urologue. Burkina Faso is the first African country where it is practiced. But because of prevalent taboos, it is still difficult for women to benefit from it.
