DK is 22 years old. Excluded from school and his family cocoon at a very young age, he is driven by an immense thirst for recognition. To succeed, he has only one card to play: music and dance. Projects are set in motion, but the absence of his father, who left when DK was 4, prevents him from moving forward… DK takes us on an intimate quest, driven by a simple ambition: to become an adult and be recognised for what he is.
C’est l’histoire d’un jeune a priori sans perspective, dont tout l’entourage attend qu’il réussisse. À 23 ans, Diay dit "DK", d’origine comorienne, vit dans les quartiers nord de Marseille. Il aurait été simple pour lui de vivoter de petits boulots dans la diaspora comorienne ou de faire sa place dans la délinquance du quartier.
Mais DK a décidé de tenter sa chance en misant sur son talent.
