In 1979, the Pacific Club opened in La Défense, Paris, becoming the first nightclub for suburban Arabs. Azedine, then 17, recalls this vibrant club and a generation that dreamed of belonging in France. Their hopes were quickly confronted with harsh realities: racism, the AIDS epidemic, and heroin. A powerful reflection on youth, identity, and the disillusionment of an era.
