Storyline
The general public discovered Bilal Hassani during Eurovision 2019 with his song "Roi" (King), a true anthem to diversity that sparked waves of both love and hatred on social media. Very quickly, the young man courageously tackled the question of gender identity in a personal and artistic exploration, not hesitating to share his doubts, his wounds, and his own evolution with us. This documentary sets out to embrace several deeply resonant themes: homosexuality, homophobia, cyberbullying and justice, racism as well as Moroccan roots, love and the choice of a mother who frees herself from cultural weight for her son's fulfillment, celebrity, and of course, identity and gender.
