Cité-Soleil. Concrete towers inhabited by men and women from all walks of life and traditions. But also the scenery for a beautiful story in which young men and women are confronted with the difficulties of the transition to adulthood ...
There is the beautiful Christelle, who is dating a fickle Julien, and who dreams of meeting the one who would love her for her soul...
There's Julien, the seductive thug who shows off with his switchblade and gets lost in smoke, alcohol and video games...
There is Samira, the Maghrebi woman who fights for solidarity between the communities and who hopes to help her sisters to live a free life...
There is Raven, in conflict with his mother, secretly in love with Christelle and struggling to overcome his complexes and shyness...
There's Julia, desperately in love with a Julien who's playing with her, and who's drifting away...
And there's the old man, the wise and benevolent one, who gives Raven back his confidence and allows him to transcend himself and finally profess his love.
Will love overcome rage?
