SYNOPSIS

Selim, a young maghrebin, shares his life with Jacques, a septuagenarian bourgeois. Once arrived in Paris a few months ago, he doesn’t just maintain an affective relationship with his lover, he also meets other men at parties. The discovery of this new life increases his insatiable need of freedom. Nonetheless, this need is jeopardized because of the weight of a family with traditions well rooted.
