A warm, playful coming-of-age comedy about misfits finding belonging and friendship despite social rejection.

Benoît, the new kid at school, is bullied by a gang of arrogant boys. Determined not to be pushed around, Benoît organizes a big party, but only three students turn up. What if this bunch of losers was to be the best gang ever?
