About film:

Marseille, France, Léo, a confident young man in his twenties, juggles his job at a bar and a life marked by excess: girls, money, drugs. He easily blends into a luxurious environment, but returns each night to a modest apartment in a working-class neighborhood, where a bare light bulb hangs from the ceiling and hot water is a rare luxury.

There, Léo shares his space with his grandparents, Ginette and Auguste “Gasoma”, who know how to make the most of the little they have. As Léo prepares for a seemingly mundane ten-day trip to Cameroon, the country of Auguste’s origin, he has no idea that this getaway will change his life forever.
