Plot This chronicle of life in a Parisian housing project in the 1980s features Madjid, the son of immigrants and the eldest of a large family entirely supported by his mother, and his best friend Pat. After a realistic setup, the film shifts into a dreamlike state before returning to reality with several powerful, almost melodramatic scenes.
