After Benoît's suicide, his best friend Geoffrey inherits his diary. We then hear Benoît's voice, which shatters everything Geoffrey thought he knew about their friendship, their identities, and their youth.
Benoît Blues is the story of two friends, one black and one white, who were the best of friends. We are in the diverse scene of 1980s Paris.
The friends become adults, start careers, have children, live a bohemian lifestyle, and party, while social divisions and tensions creep into the cocoon they had created around themselves.
After Benoît's suicide, his best friend Geoffrey inherits his diary.
We then hear Benoît's voice, which shatters everything Geoffrey thought he knew about their friendship, their identity, and their youth.
Through the eyes of Geoffrey, Edith, the woman he loves, Benoît, and a whole constellation of characters as disarming as they are imperfect, the youth of the so-called “black-white-Arab” generation expresses itself freely. A youth that invented its own destiny, against a backdrop of friendship, love, music, and above all, alcohol.
