Five diverse black women are drawn together in an exploration of being black and being female in contemporary Australia. The group of women meet for a dinner party and discuss their lives in an intimate, joyful and sometimes harrowing evening.

The film provides glimpses of each woman's life: Rosanna Angus is a community warden and cultural tour guide in her traditional Western Australian community of One Arm Point. Kathryn Hay, from Tasmania, was the first Aboriginal Miss Australia. Deborah Mailman is an award-winning actress, born and bred in Mount Isa. Cilla Malone is a mother of six who lives in Cherbourg, an Aboriginal settlement in southeast Queensland. Tammy Williams, from Gympie, is a lawyer who aims to be the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The the result is a passionate and challenging exploration of black identity and a celebration of five very different lives.
