Aleksei, a young Belarusian, has his sights set on the nightclubs of Paris. After a painful journey through Europe, he enlists in the Foreign Legion, in pursuit of a French passport. Fate, however, takes an unexpected turn, propelling Aleksei into the heart of the Niger Delta where Jomo, a fearless and charismatic revolutionary is battling insidious oil conglomerates that threaten his community's existence. While Aleksei seeks a new family in the Legion, Jomo dreams of being a disco dancer; a "disco boy". In the jungle, their paths converge, intertwining their destinies across borders, bodies, life and death. Featuring an original score from electronic musician, Vitalic.
“A visually thrilling, ambitious and distinctly freaky adventure into the heart of imperial darkness… This is bold film-making”
