"Je reste photographe" is a first-person film, a true cross-portrait of two important figures of photography in Ivory Coast, from different generations but sharing a common passion. As a young photographer, Ananias inherits a trunk that contains a lifetime of work. That of the most significant photographer of the time of the newly independent Ivory Coast:
Paul Kodjo. Thus begins a fascinating story that will link them forever. In accepting the trunk, Ananias is obviously aware of the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by Paul Kodjo, especially as the negatives it contains are seriously damaged.
the negatives it contains are seriously damaged. An unfinished heritage given as a legacy is a part of the history of post-colonial Côte d'Ivoire that is threatened. Paul Kodjo is silently bitter and no longer believes in it, but Ananias makes it a personal story. By following Paul Kodjo, the film lifts the veil on the tumultuous course of his life.
