Nassim is a junior in a well-reputed Parisian high school and seems as carefree as his friends. Nobody has the slightest idea that in reality he has just lost his mother and returns every evening to a foster care facility. Despite the kindness of the woman who runs the children’s home, he refuses to assimilate with the other youth in the center. Like a tightrope walker, Nassim navigates between his two lives that he is determined to keep separate no matter what.

The Bronx, New York City. 14-year-old Ulysses has just lost his father. His mother Amara is left to raise her two young children with only help of their strict and conservative aunt Rose. Ulysses is now expected to be the man of the house, but the shy and effeminate Ulysses has another challenge to confront: he is not comfortable in his own skin.
