During a warm summer in Montreal, two black roommates—Man, an ambitious writer working on his great novel, and Bouba, a laid‑back amateur philosopher who frequently quotes the Koran—navigate daily life together. Man’s penchant for pursuing young white women provokes the jealousy of many of the local white men.
