    Funny and sarcastic Standing Heavy tells the story of 3 Ivorian men working as security guards in France. Within the plot line a critique is shown of colonial and post colonial heritage on different topics such as education, immigration, race among other subtle jabs.

    The security guard acts as an ethnographer of the store, looking and analysing all the different people that come in, how they act, how they dress, who they are and what they like, all whilst he remains standing.
