Aboubakar et moi (Chronique d'un confinement)

During the first confinement of 2020, Rémi, a versatile queer artist, met a young Ivorian, Aboubakar, who was sleeping on the street at Saint-Charles station in Marseille. Finding him rather lively, intelligent and funny, he suggests that he move into his home, a modest 18 m2 studio with a balcony. Rémi doesn't take long to flirt with the young man more and more openly. Will Aboubakar give in to the insistent advances of this man whose sexuality and way of life are in every way different from his?
