A melancholic portrait of friendship and carefree youth in a Marseille neighborhood, where the environment itself becomes an inescapable force pulling toward inevitable tragedy.

The story of a group of friends, all around 30, who live in the Le Panier district of Marseille, France. It's not a bad life, made up of slightly shady dealings, nights out, sun and just hanging out. But the neighborhood is an inescapable presence. Over a period of a few summer days, their carefree lives will plunge into a predictable tragedy.
