Ousmane is a young Senegalese student in a critical time in his life: he must make the decision whether to go back to Senegal or to stay in Paris, where he feels comfortable. Engulfed in a whirlwind of contradicting emotions and advice, he is caught between the memory of the man he was and the image of the man he is about to become. But do these choices still belong to him? Is it already too late to choose?

El Hadji comes to Paris to study. Torn between desire for and fear of a journey back to his old homeland, he begins to question his own values.
