Cheryl, a young Black lesbian in the 1990s, spends her days working an unsatisfying job in a video store. When she's not at work, she's pursuing her real passion: making a film about a little-known, largely uncredited Black actress from the 1930s, who spent her career stuck in the stereotypical roles offered to Black women in Hollywood at the time. As Cheryl researches her movie, she tries to interview people who might have clues as to who the "Watermelon Woman" really was. Her work takes her deep into years of secret relationships and questions of race, gender, and sexuality that still linger, even decades later.
