Dark on Dark. I Iook at you from my own darkness
The streets of Toulouse are the common groound of the present and the past of our protagonists. Boureima, from Nigeria, and Lo Thivolle, a French man, meet again here after having studied together at the University of Toulouse several years ago.
But far from continuing in the academic environment, Boureima has been living in the streets for some time after deciding to move away from social normality.
This turn in the life of Boureima is what dentonates this intimate documentary, in which Lo Thivolle, the director of the film, gets involved in the shot, filming the conversations he has with Boureima, who reveals to him with all confidence a fascinating universe of ideas that make him be who he is.
The finding that Boureima's father was a King of a tribe and also the protagonist of an iconic documentary from the eighties allows a very important retrospective device to continue understanding the soul of the Nigerian.
