Overview
Djibril, nicknamed Djib, is a 13 year old black teenager, a rebel of the 90s, who lives with his grandmother in Asnières. He has a strange philosophy that he has posted above his bed: "A black person must never let himself be called the n-word by someone other than a black person, it's the worst insult". He is in love with Joséphine, an "Arab-Gauloise fatou" and decides to offer her a dream vacation.
