In a virtual world inspired by the codes of gay dating apps, Homunculus follows the wanderings of a man in search of other men. Over the course of his travels, he will come to realise that people see him as an “Arab”: an ambiguous, virile and powerful entity both celebrated by white gay males and hated by the French police forces.

[VdR '25] Through the virtuality of this imaginary world, the director reflects the narratives of domination that are reproduced under anonymity, recovering the fantasies of the collective imagination and reflecting the unfiltered reality of true attitudes of racism and objectification. Almost no one asks his name; everyone refers to him as "the Arab," a general categorization that represents an identity that is reproduced from two equally racist perspectives: that of white gay men who see him solely as a sexual object, and that of a group of French police officers who exercise violence.
