The kid who is an emotional truly-burly, is going to awake his grandparents, Kader and Zohra, who were in a grieving state since years.
      While randomly wandering in the area, he meets Claude, a poet who lives in a lost trailer on waste ground. Their relationship consists is based on surreal and poetic conversations, both of them are artists.
      Progressively, Benjamin starts opening up to the world and to his family, but mostly, he starts unveiling himself to him as well as to his art.
      And then, there is all the neighborhood, revolving around this family. Nounours, the building’s caretaker and Karim’s friend, who did not make it out of the hood either and carries a heavy secret. Mr. Teddy, an old racist of west-indie origin who does not like African people and throws bags full of shit on them. There is also another very present character, the hood itself; it holds in it all these vain hopes and lenient laments of all its inhabitants, but also their laughs and dreams.
