A few years ago I met Ambo Mendy in Paris. During this first meeting in 2016 with, model and dancer, Mendy, I realized that this would not be the last meeting. A year later, I travelled back to France to film him. A trip through the historic city of Paris brought us to the suburbs of Paris where Ambo grew up. I was curious about where he learned to dance, where he grew up and where he practices his dance nowadays. A musical and moving portrait is the result of these encounters. This is part 3/3 shot in his recent dance school.
