Synopsis:
Vita is a young and beautiful African woman who goes to Paris to attend school. Before leaving, her mother reminds her of the family curse: every woman from their family that sings will die. Vita calms her mother down and sets off to Paris where she meets and falls in love with the musician Pierre. He convinces Vita to start singing and record it. Soon, she becomes a famous singer in France and decides to visit her mother in Africa and prove to her that the family curse is just a superstition.
