ÂME NOIRE convie le spectateur à une plongée au coeur de la culture noire, à un rapide et exaltant voyage à travers les lieux qui ont marqué l'histoire de ces peuples. Le récit que transmet une vieille dame à son petit-fils fait défiler sous nos yeux une succession de tableaux peints directement sous la caméra. Ce tourbillon de couleurs et de lumière accompagne l'enfant sur les traces de ses ancêtres pharaons, puis sous le baobab, où le griot chante les exploits des rois. L'appel des percussions annonce ensuite le commerce des esclaves et, d'exil en exil, les rythmes noirs, du gospel au jazz, entraînent le garçon des Antilles aux neiges des Amériques. Film sans paroles.
