Robert Paragot, a mountaineering legend, was also a great Bleausard. In addition to his far-flung alpine-style expeditions (the south face of Aconcagua, Tour de Mustagh, Jannu), he is the very image of the modest city dweller who devoted himself passionately to high-level mountaineering. Like any good Parisian climber, Robert Paragot began his climbing career in the Fontainebleau forest. A true rock school where he would open several boulders. His son, Christophe Paragot, paid tribute to him, a year after his death, by climbing all the boulders opened by his father in Fontainebleau in the same day. He tells us about an era, a spirit, an emblematic place through his memories and some delightful anecdotes. Far from spectacular images and sporting exploits, this film speaks of a passion, a story of climbing that was made accessible to all. In memory of a great name in mountaineering who, from the modest blocks of the forest, climbed to the highest peaks in the world.

Their names are Chrys, Emiliano, Moïse, Yannick ... Whether they live in Cayenne or in more remote areas of Guyana, they often face the same insults: dirty makoumé ("dirty homo" in Creole). In this department, homosexuality remains a taboo. To avoid discrimination, insults and family rejection, most men choose to remain as discreet as possible. Some of them even prefer to deny themselves completely, pretending to adhere to the classic pattern: woman and child (ren). This documentary proposes, through several stories and destinies, to tell the situation of the male homosexual community in Guyana, to understand the multiple reasons for this taboo and to highlight those who work to thwart it.
