    • An adolescent dreamer, Ibrahim, lives in a housing project on the outskirts of Paris with his father, Ahmed, with whom he has a difficult relationship. Involved by his best friend, Achille, in an ill-fated shoplifting scam, Ibrahim gets caught red-handed by security, landing his father with an unexpected—and rather sizable—debt, jeopardizing Ahmed’s career plans. Faced by the heavy challenge, Ibrahim is prepared to do whatever it takes to make amends and gain his father’s respect, once and for all.
