Cher is a documentary film shot in Italy on July 2015 at the Adriatic coast. Many people are working there as beach traders, mostly from Senegal, Mali and India. The idea came from the accidental meeting with “Cher” (Cheikh).  Since 26 years Cheikh had been sitting at the same place on the beach, making his own sculptures. This film is a Portrait of him as well as a critical investigation about racism, money and solidarity issues. "From the grain of rice to the words, everything must be patented. Nothing is gratuitous anymore. doing something without asking for anything in return is a real scandal, and absolutely illegal because it is strongly subversive" Sergio Ghirardi, 2004.
