Yassine Qnia has chosen to explore a situation of failure and a spiral of pride, powerlessness and shame. This is an observational film set in the Paris banlieue, with its small bars, its industrial areas, its housing problems for the youth and the temptations of illegal activities taking the place of even the simplest dreams, which all seem unreachable. A place of gloom and fatalism embodied by a character (the excellent
Soufiane Guerrab) always on the lookout, a experienced safecracker with impressive self-control but whose future is getting increasingly hopeless, and who is also trying to win back the woman he loves and who is raising their child.
