He goes back to Reims where he comes from to explore this phenomenon. He meets after a long time his parents who went in the last decades throw this shift andcomperes his nowadays life in Paris with the reality of Reims.Other topics explored in this book: theory applied on the real life and personal experiences, LGBTQ+, xenophobia, life in the center x periphery
