About
In a virtual world inspired by the codes of gay dating apps, Homunculus follows the wanderings of a man in search of other men. Over the course of his travels, he will come to realise that people see him as an “Arab”: an ambiguous, virile and powerful entity both celebrated by white gay males and hated by the French police forces.
