A poetically violent trip into the human psyche

After a long and difficult journey through Europe, Aleksei arrives in Paris to join the Foreign Legion. Looking for a new life, he is ready for anything in order to obtain the proised passport. At the same time, on the Niger River Delta, Jomo fights oil multinationals that threaten life in his village. While he is at the head of an armed group, one day he kidnaps French citizens. To intervene is a command of the Foreign Legion, led by Aleksei. The meeting between the two will have unexpected implications. Aleksei and Jomo´s destinies will overlap, continuing beyond borders, bodies, life and death.

Disco Boy is a hypnotic journey into the void. The fine-looking and great-sounding film was awarded the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for cinematographer Hélène Louvart’s outstanding artistic contribution.
