Linda Plover, a Liverpool woman raised in poverty, leaves home to live among the Babongo people of southern Gabon for the second series of this BBC Two format. She becomes assistant to Mama Tito, a blunt Babongo matriarch, and the film follows her through the daily labor and social expectations of that role, from her early stumbles to the moments Mama Tito pushes back on her. Linda arrives carrying bitterness toward her own mother, and the episode tracks how the demands of her new position, and Mama Tito's own account of hardship, start to shift how Linda reads her childhood. The broader series sends six British women to remote communities where women's roles differ sharply from the ones they left, and this episode is built around a single relationship rather than a tour of Babongo life generally, watching what happens when Linda is forced to answer to someone with no patience for her old excuses.
