Work: He spends his days at the Collège Français. On Wednesday afternoon, he has English literature and urban dance classes. On Saturday morning, he studies Arabic and painting.

Love status: Surrounded by women, he has enough motherly love to deal with. As for the rest…

Ambitions: Benjamin is a borderline hyperactive kid, curious and very well mannered. He learns a lot from Fatima – the North-African etiquette and other life lessons. He is now going through a phase of reading only Japanese mangas published between 1975 and 1985.

Personality: At his age, he thinks that everyone is his friend, including Tim Hortons.

Characteristic traits: He has big teeth.
