Synopsis

Saïd, 15, a teenager lacking in direction, lives with Soumia, his 14-year-old sister and Souad, their mother who has been depressed for a long time. One night, Souad falls into a coma and is taken to the hospital. Saïd and Soumia, left to their own devices, try to keep their mother's absence a secret for as long as possible to escape the shelter. Brams, 22, a neighborhood thug, quickly understands what he can do with the two children's weakness. Little by little, the apartment turns into a place of dealing. Saïd is captivated by his new friends. Soumia, put in danger by her brother's attitude, goes to live in a shelter. She triggers, much against her will, the institutions' investigation. Will Saïd, now alone with Brams, escape the shelter?
