Info

Plot

After a difficult journey through Europe, Aleksei arrives in Paris to enlist in the French Foreign Legion, a very selective military body that allows a French passport to be granted to any foreigner, even undocumented ones. In the Niger Delta, Jomo fights against the oil companies that threaten the survival of his village. Meanwhile, his sister Udoka dreams of escaping, knowing that everything is lost there.

An atypical war film directed by Giacomo Abbruzzese. 'Disco Boy' is a very ambitious project, expensive for the finances of a first film, and took ten years to make. Surprisingly, the film stays very close to what the director had envisioned from the beginning: the story of a Belarusian who crosses Europe , arrives in Paris and enlists in the Foreign Legion, and then the story of his antagonist, an environmentalist fighter in Nigeria. Basically it is the story of a metamorphosis, which ultimately leads to a utopia.

A dazzling epic odyssey that builds a bridge between the spirit of the masterpieces of Claire Denis and Francis Ford Coppola, with a nomination for Best Film for the Berlinale Official Selection. According to critics, it is "a seductive and imaginative study of life in the French Foreign Legion."
