It all started with a viral video in Senegal. We see how a corpse is dug up, then dragged out of a cemetery by a crowd. As soon as he watches it, Nd?n? Gueye, a young literature professor disappointed by teaching and tired of the moral hypocrisy of his society, becomes preoccupied, even obsessed, by this event. Who was it about? Why was the body exhumed? To these questions, there is only one answer: he was a g?or-jig?en, a "man-woman". In other words, a homosexual. Nd?n? sets out to research this man's past. Around him, in the university environment as well as within his own family, suspicions and rumors arise... A moving novel about the only big question that matters to its hero: how to find the courage to be fully oneself, without betray or lie to each other, and whatever the cost?
