    • Synopsis

    • It all begins in the North of France.
      Ali suddenly finds himself with a five year-old child on his hands. Sam is his son, but he hardly knows him. Homeless, penniless and friendless, Ali takes refuge with his sister in Antibes. There things improve immedia- tely. She puts them up in her garage, she takes the child under her wing and the weather is glorious.
      Ali first runs into Stephanie during a night club brawl. He drives her home and leaves her his phone number. He is poor, she is beautiful and self-assured.
      Stephanie trains killer whales at Marineland. When a performance ends in tragedy, a call in the night again brings them together.
      When Ali sees her next, his princess is confined to a wheel chair: she has lost her legs and quite a few illusions. He simply helps her, with no compassion or pity. And she comes alive again.
