Parpaing

Nicolas Petisoff

Parpaing (breezeblock) is the story of a journey. The journey of a kid who, no matter what, wakes up every morning because there has to be a tomorrow. The journey of a young man who has to decide how to present himself to the world – because you have to be somebody. The journey of a young gay who believes faggot is the only suitable word to talk about his love. The journey of a man in the making, still incomplete. We are addressing self-realization, looking for our own identity. We are searching for a connection between the truth we are comfortable with and the reality we are discovering.

Who are family secrets good for? I'm asking you.
