Paris Mon Paradis plot

Myths are carriers of journeys and migrations. The Africans are still looking for happiness in Europe, their heads turned by idyllic images of the Eldorado. But 'the last judgment' is always given in Africa itself: you have to pass and prove it. Those who return home empty-handed, without confirming the myth of the dreamed image of Paris, live in shame. However, the reality is unforgiving. The life of the African immigrants in Paris is often an unequal struggle and the dream can turn into hell. Then one has to lie, sometimes deceive oneself.
