In Paris, Ismaèl, a young Tunisian, cares for two brothers, Nouredine, a cripple, and streetwise Mouloud, 14. In haste, Ismaèl and Mouloud go to Marseilles where an uncle lives. Nouredine has died in a fire, and Ismaèl feels guilt on top of grief. Ismaèl becomes friends with Jacky, a white man whose father and brother hate immigrants. Mouloud hangs out with cousin Rhida who breaks Islamic rules and deals hash. Ismaèl decides Mouloud must return to Tunisia, but the boy runs off, becoming an acolyte to Rhida's supplier. Ismaèl and Jacky's Arab girlfriend start an affair, friends betray friends, and the racism gets ugly. Can Ismaèl rescue himself and Mouloud or will life in France crush them?
