Listen Later

Underwater, No One Sees The Fish Crying begins with a family quest. With her friend Jeanne, Delphine sets out to reconstitute the life of her grandfather, Félix, a Belgian missionary who left for the Congo in 1934. Their quest leads them from Belgium to the Congo, at the intersection of several generations.

In the third episode, Delphine and Jeanne meet Felix's Belgian family. They travel to Gaume and the Ardennes, where they find official archives of the Marcel-Bwanakucha family. They gain access to Astrida's medical file and visit the psychiatric hospital where she died after twenty years of internment. As they make their discoveries, a tumultuous and tragic life story emerges, rooted in a post-colonial society.
