A gritty character study of two marginal men finding unexpected companionship amid the nocturnal underbelly of Paris, anchored by intimate connection rather than plot momentum.

In the 18th Arrondissement of Paris, Lambert, an aloof garage manager working the night shift at a petrol station spends his time drinking on the job, content in his own company. One night, Bensoussan, a small-time drug pusher in dire straits falls in on a stolen moped pretending to need a spark plug. The two men develop an unlikely friendship.
