Idriss Koné, aka Birco Clinton, lives in an asbestos container in the eastern suburbs of Naples and has a dream: to become the king of the coupé décalé in Europe. To be able to succeed he has created L’armée rouge, a band of boys from the Ivory Coast that supports him and helps him to organize his parties. The documentary is a glance from inside in the Black community in Naples and, despite the actual political situation in the country, gives account of a daily history which is written by the real people. The result is a almost surrealistic account of the gap between politics and real world.
