Summary: A coming of age story set in a remote Senegalese beachside village during the week before Christmas, 1964, where the local teenage boys are divided into rival cultural camps. The “Ins” (“Inseparables”) style themselves after French pop stars, attend school, have all the girls–but no record player. Their rivals, the “Kings,” style themselves after African-American blues legends, they work as fishermen, don’t have any girls–but they do have a record player.
