CGiii Comment

Based on Jack-Alain Léger's novel, this drama focuses on Paul and Daniel, two different brothers of North African origin, and their efforts to succeed in life. Paul has an university degree, but doesn't find a job worthy its name. While he is madly in love with Myriam, his beloved brother Daniel struggles with his identity as a, secretly gay, Muslim born in France and wants to be a famous bodybuilder, but finally becomes the "star" of a Hamburg sex club. When Daniel falls critically ill, Paul realizes what he is waiting for in life...
